	Thanks to you and everyone for their help.  All I needed to do was
ifconfig de0 media 100BaseTX for the switch.  The funny thing I can't
figure out is that our 100BaseT hub when the de0 card is plugged into it,
the de0 will detect as 10Bt and it won't communicate until I manually do
the media setting.  Is there a reason, it won't negotiate with the 100BT
hub?
