Hi all.

I have a generic Ethernet card working via the 8139too module. The
card is a 100 MBPS card connected to a 100 MBPS switch. In fact, when
the card is configured manually or via DHCP, I get the following from
dmesg and in my logs:

eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1

. However, when I run tcpdump, I get the following:

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol
decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
 
. So my question is why is tcpdump saying this is a 10 Mb card, when
to all appearances, the card is operating at 100 MBPS? Thanks.

Greg
