do you have to do anything special to get 100MB?
On the one hand I have this from ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr
00:A0:CC:22:30:2C
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2325669 errors:8 dropped:0 overruns:8
TX packets:2951384 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6600
On the other hand, the 100BT light is on my Linksyses.
