There is no network speed setting in the device to limit it to 100baseT. The cable came with the device, and I have tried other cables and ports - no difference. top on the device shows a perl process eating up about 93% of the cpu every now and then. I can't seem to capture it - top - 14:54:16 up 2:47, 2 users, load average: 1.05, 1.11, 1.09 Tasks: 93 total, 1 running, 92 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 0.7%sy, 0.3%ni, 98.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 253632k total, 232896k used, 20736k free, 29184k buffers Swap: 500608k total, 30016k used, 470592k free, 71808k cached There is a firmware update avaialable, so I will run that and see if anything improves. If not, then back to costco it goes!
