Re: 100Mbs ether cards talking @ 10Mbs ...
it might be limited by speed of disks, not by speed of network.
try to get some diagnostics for the network card you use (not sure if
it's available for your particular card, nor where to find it) and see
what it says about conection.
also, try some connection that is not disk related, I am not sure how
to test it, maybe huge RAM-disk, or write some simple network program,
well, two programs, one generating data (faster then 100Mbs), another
one reading data...
or open few VNCs with some graphics intensive stuff and see what you
can squeeze out of the cards...
