Answering question 2, I can quote from the man page for 'ndd'...

SYNOPSIS
ndd [ -set ] driver parameter [ value ]
DESCRIPTION
...
If the -set option is omitted, ndd queries the named
driver, retrieves the value associated with the specified
parameter, and prints it.
...
---
Try using the following...
---
# ndd /dev/hme link_speed
0
# ndd /dev/hme link_mode
0
---
This means that my workstation HME interface is set to 10Mbps half
duplex. If it was configured as 100Mbps, the number returned for
'link_speed' would be "1", and similarly if my interface was configured
as full duplex, the number returned for 'link_mode' would also be "1".
The following command shows the parameters available for a particular
driver....
---
# ndd /dev/hme \?
---
Using 'ndd' to set interface configuration can be performed either in a
start up script or in the </etc/system>. For example, put the following
lines in </etc/system> to explicitly set your HME interface to 100Mbps
full duplex....
---
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
---
Note that the format for setting these parameters using 'ndd' is
different...
---
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100T4_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap 1
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap 0
# ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap 0
