You should be more concerned that it is only at 10Mb.  I'm not sure 
if the old 10bT protocol even supported full duplex.  You definitely 
need a switch rather than hub to run full duplex, and 100Mb or better 
may also be required.  Once you have that it should auto-detect and 
enable full duplex, if your other hardware is capable.
