I'd actually argue that ethtool is right -- there really isn't any valid
number TO report. Reporting the actual physical interface speed would be
wrong in that the memory speed interface isn't actually limited to that
speed, and reporting the actual memory interface speed is wrong in that
it's a theoretical number that you won't ever actually get. 

I guess my question is: why do they care? Does the application behave
differently with different interface speeds, or is this one of those
checkbox evals where "must have gigE support" is on there?
