Re: 10mbit iBook nic

[Shawn Powers <spowers@inland.k12.mi.us>]

Sorry -- just caught the end of this thread, but a really simple way to 
force 10Mbit is to use an old hub.  :)  If you don't have such things 
laying around (sadly, I do...) I can't help.  Sorry.   (I'd google 
looking for help, I would look around for an answer, but work is 
terribly busy today)
