Ethernet network cards to be set up to be FAST (100) mode

SRM console
-----------

Use # consvar -l from unix to find out the ewa0 or the fddi device…

>>>set ewa0_mode fast
or
>>>set ewa0_mode FastFD
>>>init
>>>boot

UNIX

----
# lan_config -i tu0 -m utp -s 100 -x 0
or
# lan_config -i tu0 -m utp -s 100 -x 1
This was all for a DEC Tulip NIC, in other cases device name will be 
different.
Or
add "speed 100" on /etc/rc.config; e.g,
IFCONFIG_1="10.31.90.64 netmask 255.255.0.0 speed 100"
