This doesn't matter much since the card autonegotiates both speed and
duplex.  I have Cisco Catalyst switches, so I can force a port into 10 or
100, half or full and it works no matter what I set it to.

This is most likely due to the blazing speed of my 486 33Mhz laptop.  I
ran some stress tests and had 0% packet lost most of the time.

There's just one other problem that I'm not getting a hold of...
Card inserted, slot 0
card0: assign ep0 iobase 0x240 irq 3 flags 0x1
ep0: No connectors or MII.
ep0: [*UTP*] address 00:00:86:50:43:1f

It says ep0: No connectors or MII.  but works anyway.  I don't know if
this is normal or not.

So every can go buy 3Com OfficeConnect 572BT cards now :)
