Thanks to all who responded: My original message was:

The responses were mostly to "ifconfig down" hme0, which did not help.
Several also suggested to ifconfig hme0 unplumb which also did not help.
Todd A. Fiedler came in with the winning response which was to:

>Set this in the eeprom

>eeprom "tpe-link-test?=false"

This cleared up the problem. Many thanks to Todd and others for the timely
response.
