[K12OSN] Speed of the LAN card

["Terrell Prudé, Jr."]

It's probably 100/Full, since autonegotiation is actually an OSI Layer 2 
function, independent of the OS device driver, though the device driver 
usually can and does allow it to be set manually.  Here's a quick 'n' 
dirty test.  Try firing up TuxType and playing a bit.  If it's slow as 
molasses, you're probably running at 10Mb half duplex.  If it plays 
normally, you're probably running at 100Mb full duplex.  TuxType can 
suck up 73Mb in one direction at 1024x768x16777216.  TuxMath should be 
fairly similar if you don't have TuxType handy.
