If you're certain it is plugged into a 100 Mb hub, try adding "mediaopt 100baseTX" to the ifconfig parameters. If you're plugging both into the same hub, don't be surprised if you get other error messages too. There is no real reason to place two network interfaces on the same physical network. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
