Default Netgear Fa411 NIC - specifying speed - how?

Hi :-)

Machine: IBM ThinkPad 570 (laptop), 366MHz, 128MB RAM. 6GB HDD.
And a NetGear FA411 Fast Ethernet 10/100 PCMCIA NIC.

Enough acronyms ;-)

The card runs and works, but only at 10Mb/s. The lights on both the card
and the switch indicate a 100Mb/s link, but I'm only getting about 7Mb/s
(yes, that _is_ megabits :-).

I've googled a bit, and it seems that this is useful info:

bash-2.05b$ /sbin/ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:1D1:FB
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:183241 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:175557 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:242517037 (231.2 Mb) TX bytes:73402796 (70.0 Mb)
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300

lo <snipped>

Thanks :-)

Matt
