You will link at 100 if your card is 100, but the traffic is still only 10. Don't confuse what you bind at and the actual data transfer speed. It is not physically possible to have a single network segment (what a hub gives) running at two speeds. It's not a matter of "well, my hub is different". No, it's not.
Uhm, I beg to differ :-) There are things called "swithcing hubs" which are in fact two hubs ( one 10Mbit and one 100Mbit ) with a two-port switch built in to bridge the 10/100 gap. That way, you get "pure" 100<-->100 where possible, "pure" 10<->10, and a 10<->100 switched bridge. They cost about the same as a true switch tho, so I'd rather recommend switches. ( beware tho that some companies sell these things as "personal switches" - which they are not. ) [SNIP] -tosi
