Re: 10/100 NIC Recommendations?

[paul <paul hessels sheridanc on ca>]

At this point I am a little confused.  What controls the rate the card runs
at.  Does the card control that?  The kernel?  I have a SMC EtherPower 10/100,
plugged into a hub set at 10half.  Firstly, I need to change the port so it is
running at 100/full, but what do I need to change on the machine itself?  I'm
confused......
