NIC to 10 HDX - Work with cable modem

Hello Gurus

Have Ultra 5 running Sol 7
Trying to get it work with my cable modem

Hv conifgured DHCP ok. I have tested at work where I get switch 100 Mbps FDX and I do get DHCP assigned address

Problem: Looks like my cable modem is unable to handle 100 Mbps FDX coming from the Ultra 5

Tried the following command
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
Still not working. So, I connected a hub and the collission LED is on. This is why I feel it is a NIC issue

My qns are:
After configuring using ndd-set, do I need to do init 6?
Will this change be saved across init 6?

What do I need to so that when the Ultra 5 is coming up, its NIC is set to 10 Mbps HDX?

What is the equivalent of ipconfig /release_all and ipconfig /renew_all

Am a Solaris newbie and appreciate your help

Tx

Executed the following commands to force the NIC speed to drop to 10 Mbps HDX

ndd -set /dev/hme instance 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 1
ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0

The hub to which this NIC was connected indicated that the collissions have stopped

To survive reboot, I also put the commands into a script in /etc/rc2.d

I have one qn for which I am yet to find the answer:

What is the equivalent cmd in Solaris for ipconfig /release_all

Would appreciate if someone could help me with this

Tx
