I'm not seeing that: |

|
| 18 |
$ dmesg | grep 8169 |
| 19 |
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded |
| 20 |

| 21 |

A grep for "100" does not show anything more useful. |

I had thought [1] that `ifconfig` had a line that stated the hardware |

link speed, but I can't see it now. |

[1] My memory left over from days when I had fairly recently spent |
| 38 |
£135 on an 8-port 100Mbps switch (not hub) and my flatmate still had a |

NIC performing at 10Mbps. |
