I believe that will all currently supported hardware, FE or GE are the minimum requirements. You should be able to run it at any supported speed, as long as both ends match.
Some of the older switches like the Cat3000 supported EtherChannel on 10Mb interfaces. While you can still find these switches, they have reached End Of Life. As far as routers, only the larger hardware like the 7x00 series and the router modules for the Cat5K/Cat6K support etherchannel. As far as I have been able to determine, it's not supported on 10Mb router interfaces at all. I haven't verified this absolutely, though. Thanks, Shawn "Michael L.
