Installing and Configuring thege Device Driver 13
●Tolist all the parameters supported by the ge driver, type ndd /dev/ge \?.
(See TABLE1 through TABLE 8 for parameter descriptions.)
Autonegotiation Mode
By default, autonegotiation is set to on. This means that the adapter will
communicate with its link partner to determine a compatible network speed, duplex
mode, and flow control capability.
If your network equipment does not support autonegotiation, or if you want to
specify your network speed, you can set autonegotiation to off on the ge device.

▼To Set Autonegotiation to Off (Forced Mode)

1. Select the following parameters: adv_1000fdx_cap,adv_1000hdx_cap,
adv_pauseTX and adv_pauseRX, and set those values according to the user’s
manual that shipped with your link partner device (for example, switch). See
TABLE6 for parameter values.
