Where did you put this? LILO? You mention in your other post that you didn't
use the DOS config. What you said above is what happens if you don't lock
the card at one speed. It looks like this options thing is a way around it.
(Maybe the right way. The locking it from DOS I saw mentioned many months
and revisions of the driver ago)

Hmmm I think it's broken. If I remember right it reported some DEC FDDI
boards I worked with as 10Mbps also. FDDI ain't nowhere near 10Mbps ; >
