Well I've got this problem solved now. It seems that the switch port I
was testing on was stuffed. Moving to another one I get wonderful
performance. On a 100Mb/s port I can get it working at both half and full
duplex, with ftp transfers of 3.8 MB/s (which translates to about 30Mb/s,
the other machine for the ftp is only on half duplex) on a 100 MB file
which is excellent! The other card is still happy at 10Mb/s. And it's all
autodetect too, no options needed.
