unfortunately my dmesg shows only this. # dmesg |grep eth eth0: DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter eth1: VIA Rhine II at 0xec00, 00:0e:a6:1d:d9:25, IRQ 201. eth1: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1. eth0: no IPv6 routers present eth0: network connection up using port A nothing about speed. Its a Linux 2.6.8-2-386 on i686 .
