I can add that we use 3Com 905TX cards and have had enormous problems on
10Mb lines (these cards seem to be enormously sensitive to
hubs/wiring/etc, at least with the linux driver). One typical symptom is
that the card will suddenly think it is connected to a 100Mb line,
effectively taking the machine off the net as the hub is only 10Mb.
