Topic: SunOS 5.5.1: hme driver patch

	NOTE1:	Install patch 103903-03 or newer (kernel/drv/le patch)
		to get the complete fix for 4033038.

	NOTE2:	For devices that do not advertise auto-negotiation and
		advertise 10-full-duplex and 10-half-duplex, hme will
		first select the 10-half-duplex.  However, one can force
		it to 10-full-duplex (if desired).
