Saving Driver Parameters
Beyond Reboot

Any parameter changes made using ndd will be lost the next time your
system is rebooted. To keep changes through reboot, parameter settings must
be placed in a start-up file with the following filename:

/etc/rc2.d/S99itialt


Example:
If you need to adjust adapter 2 to turn Link Negotiation off and
increase the TCP/IP values, you could place the following lines in the
/etc/rc2.d/S99itialt

start-up file:

#!/sbin/sh
# local kernel modification

#

case "$1" in
'start')

echo "Setting local kernel parameters...\c"
ndd -set /dev/alt instance 2
ndd -set /dev/alt link_negotiation 0
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 65535
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 65535
ndd -set /dev/udp udp_xmit_hiwat 65535
ndd -set /dev/udp udp_recv_hiwat 65535

echo " "
;;

'stop')
echo "$0: No parameters changed."
;;

*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
