     NAME
          gfe_control - Phobos Fast Ethernet driver controller

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/bin/gfecontrol [options]

     DESCRIPTION
          gfe_control allows the user to query the duplex state or the
          speed state of the requested interface. The root user can
          also set the duplex and speed.

          -i interface

               The default interface for the Phobos Fast Ethernet
               driver is gfe0. See the online release notes for
               information about changing the interface name.

          -d duplex

               The default duplex mode for the Phobos Fast Ethernet
               driver is half, which is standard.  If the adapter is
               connected to a device which supports full-duplex
               operation gfe_control can be used to place the
               adapter's duplex mode to full.

          -s speed

               The Phobos Fast Ethernet Adapter supports both 10BaseT
               and 100BaseT.  By default the adapter's speed is set to
               auto-negotiate the speed of the network. Auto-
               negotiation can be set with pfe_control by using auto
               as the speed argument. The adapter's speed can also be
               forced to 100 BaseT or 10 BaseT.  Note that if the
               speed is forced, the hub or switch must support that
               speed.

     EXAMPLES
          To see the current configuration of all interfaces:

               example% gfe_control

          To set full-duplex and 10BaseT mode on interface gfe0:

               example% gfe_control -i gfe0 -d full -s 10

          To set half-duplex and 100BaseT mode on interface gfe1:

               example% gfe_control -ids gfe1 half 100
