Subject: Forcing a 10/100 NIC to run at 10
We have some of these at work. They are supported like crap. Here is the
bug that kicked our butt regularly in 2.4 kernels...

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=450871&group_id=33062&atid=407201

I would strongly suggest throwing a 3com or other well supported card in
there and save your time (time is money, network cards are cheap). If you
have spent more than 2 hours on this problem you have spent more than what
a new NIC cost.
