Here is how to set manually speed and duplex parameters on network interfaces in Sun Solaris.
Adding the following code (comment lines start with '*') to you /etc/system file and rebooting will put your hme type interfaces to 10 Mbits/s Half-Duplex:
*
* set hme driver modes
*
*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 = 1
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap = 0
