Linksys PNIC II glitches

The default media type when the module loads, and tulip-diag port
selection.  I guess that needn't correlate with the autoselect media
type.  (ifport eth0 reports auto.)  tulip-diag reports "10mpbs-serial
100baseTx scrambler, full-duplex".  The full-duplex there seems odd
since it's connected to a hub.  ( Obviously I don't understand the
output I'm seeing; I appreciate your patience ).

I can transfer with ftp at around 1200-1300K/sec which seems higher
than 10mbps ethernet cards, but not 10x faster.  My expectations may
just be too high.

Good to know.  Thank you for your help and good work!  It would still
be nice to find out why .91g doesn't work with this card -- I'm not
sure what diagnostics would be helpful other than those I posted
earlier.
