I got a similar problem in 2.2-960501-SNAP.  The SMC Etherpower 10/100
cards in my P6 keep coming up in 100BaseT while it's only connected to
10BaseT network.  It's happening more than 50% during reboot.  It's
getting worse now since we have two of those cards in the system now.
Is there a way to force it to do 10BaseT instead?
