That looks normal to me. Your card should be supported by the
"forcedeth" module. If I understand your previous email correctly then
you have high transfer rates on your internal network, so maybe your
slow external connection is not a hardware/driver issue. You can
nevertheless check if you see any error messages when you run
dmesg | grep -i forcedeth
directly after boot. Maybe somebody else knows anything more specific
about this card. (I changed the subject line to make it more
noticeable.) It also cannot hurt if you post the output of
/sbin/modinfo forcedeth
(This will provide some more info about the driver, its version, etc.)
