Is this some configuration quirk that I have

(note that the hub light should? illuminate even with NO

Make sure you have the AUI interface disconnected, and the TPE cable
connected to the Hub when you power on the system. What OS, Solaris or SunOS? If you're running
Solaris, you
may need to do a 'boot -r' to refresh the device list.
NetBSD. Though I can drag out a Solaris system disk to try...
In case you don't have it, here's the service
manual:

The 'test net-tpe' diagnostic will check your built-in port, if
connected to a hub.
Yes -- though it will report "success" on the external loopback
even if not connected to a hub :-(
When no media type is specified in the ifconfig (defaults to
auto select), a subsequent 'ifconfig -a' reports that it has
picked 10baseT and is "active".
When an explicit "media 10BaseT" is added to the ifconfig
to bring the i/f up, I note that outgoing pings seem to
*blink* the hub light (whereas the SS5 plugged in next to
it keeps the hub light lit, solid).
I'll pull the Classic out of the recycle pile and see how
*it* behaves (from the ok prompt)...
