Some NICs and hubs/switches have lights on them to indicate whether the link is 1) 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps 2) Full-duplex or half-duplex For example, the D-Link switch I have shows a green connection light for 100Mbps links and orange for 10Mbps links. The other light is off when the link is inactive and half-duplex, on when the links is inactive and full-duplex, and blinks when the link is actively transferring data. One of my Linksys NICs has 4 leds on the back to show the same info (10 vs 100, full vs half duplex, link, active) and the other one has 2 leds (only shows half the info too).
