Incorrect.  Only ISL requires FastE, 802.1q works perfectly well on a
standard Ethernet port. This was covered in another thread a few days ago.

Vlan trunking requires a fast ethernet connection.  It cannot be trunked
with a 261X.  You'd need a 262X.

If you have to deal with a 2611, your options become much more limited.  You
could replace the 2611 with a 2620.  Or you could get a ethernet module for
the 2611.  Unfortunately, last time I checked (whish was a couple years ago,
given) those ethernet modules came in two models, 1 and 4 port, and cost
about $1000 per port.

Another option would be to replace the 2611 with a 1750.  It's got one fast
ethernet port.  If this network is as small as it sounds, it'd be a viable
option.

Oh, and about trunking, the way it works is you define the switch port
connected to the router as a trunk.  This allows multiple (in your case,
all) vlans to use the one port.  The router is configured with subinterfaces
on the fastethernet port, one for each vlan.  The router can then route
between these vlans.
