GIG e 1

How can I verify if my NIC is a 10/100/1000 card?

ndd /dev/interface \?

I do see this...
adv_1000fdx_cap (read and write)
adv_1000hdx_cap (read and write)

Does it mean its 1000 compatable?

TIA

I found this somewhere on the web. It might have been here at Tek-Tips...

It displays something like this...

hme0            100 Mbit/s      full

Yes your NIC can run at Gigabit as long as the cable and switch can support it.

sambones; I had posted that not to long ago.

What kind of NIC are you running (bge, ce, ge)? If you want to hard code it -I have seen issues with autonegotation- you will have to write a script or make a .conf file.
