Topic:  SunOS 5.5.1: hme driver patch

	NOTE1:	Install patch 103903-03 (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).

	NOTE3:	At the time this patch was generated, supported configurations
		for E6000/5000/4000/3000 are limited to 2 Sun Quad FastEthernet
		cards per system.  Check with your authorized Service Support
		representative for further configuration information.
