Donald Becker.. to whom we owe much gratitude from developing lots of
network drivers... has this to say (from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html ):
"The 'ifconfig' program is reporting the Link Encapsulation Type, not the
link speed. In some cases detecting the link speed takes considerable time,
so the drivers don't implement this. Complete link information can read from
the card using the vortex-diag program"
