ndd - but where is my hme0?

[630111]

Was reading thread60-94820 about NIC settings, and read the man page on ndd. Here is my output of ifconfig -a

hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.13.104.42 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.13.104.255 ether 8:0:20:80:93:b9

I tried to run the command
ndd -get /dev/hme0 ?
but I get
&quot;couldn't push module 'hme0', No such device or address&quot;

I tried a find on hme0 but it appears to not be found on my box. What am I missing?
Thanks, in advance, for your help.

If you have mulitple HME then you will have to set the instance #.
More than one hme:
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0 (this set hme0)
ndd -get /dev/hme ?

second hme
ndd -set /dev/hme instance 1 (this set hme1)
ndd -get /dev/hme ?

Try this.

Thanks tuka!

I did as you suggested. I still get
&quot;couldn't push module 'hme0', No such device or address&quot;
when I try
ndd -get /dev/hme0 ?

But, when I try
ndd -get /dev/hme ?

I get

Is this the correct output from ndd?

Thanks again!

Make sure you are running ndd as superuser. It will not work as any other user.

With ndd -get you specify /dev/hme (you were using /dev/hme0 which is not a valid device type ) The output you got for ndd -get /dev/hme ? gives the things you can set or get. To get info about your nic settings you would use ndd -get /dev/hme link_speed
which will give 0 - for 10Mb or 1 for 100Mb and ndd -get /dev/hme link_mode which will give 0 - for half duplex or 1 - for full duplex.
