That wiki page says "However, half-duplex operation for gigabit speed isn't

Running ethtool on a few systems shows that some of them don't support it, while
others do.

I don't have any higher speed Ethernet cards yet (do you? ;-)

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
