Actually, I wrote it backwards....it always comes up at 100Mb/s, but it is
on a 10Mb/s hub. There was a patch for this for 2.2.2..(Matt's driver I 
think)..is there a patch, or is de no longer supported. Another question....
will the old de driver patch work with 2.2.5, because whatever is in the
release really sucks.
