Which ether-card drivers currently support full duplex? Recently, someone here said that full duplex for 10Base-T was a waste of time. But after some research it's beginning to look like that's not true at all. 10BT switches are available, and cost way less than 100BT switches. I've gotten reports from several places saying that in practice, switched full-duplex 10BT is faster than half-duplex hub-based 100BT. Since 100BT switches aren't really affordable yet, full duplex 10BT sounds like a winner. Do any of the 10/100 cards support full duplex in their 10BT mode?
