Hmm, weird.

I just checked my version of this card and lspci reports:
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]
(rev 78)

And yet I get 100baseTx-FD as reported by mii-diag for instance.  It's
the same driver version:
00:0c.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xec00. Vers LK1.1.16
