That adapter has 4 possible connection states   10/100MiB and half/full
duplex. Obviously the fastest would be 100 full.

What is it actually connected as?  Usually the leds on the switch or the
adapter will tell you the speed, but I have not seen any tools to check
the actual state from the OS.

I have never had any problems with any NIC using the via-rhine chipset,
but YMMV
