Clarification: LAN-UDP module referrs to a hardware-addon module to the
surge supressor.
I agree that limiting the gigabit to 10 Mb/s is probably a kernel module
parameter but the forcedeth module is not mentioned in the kernel
documentation that I can see. (rgrep forcedeth .) I don't see it in any
of the generic networking kernel docs either.
