I'm running a slightly modified 2.6.16.13 kernel on FC5-amd64. The motherboard is SuperMicro H8SSL dual-core AMD system. According to super-micro web site,
the PCI-X slot is 133Mhz.  I'm using a 4-port pro/1000 NIC.

dmesg shows a listing of 120Mhz:

ethtool -d eth3 shows 66Mhz:
....

      Bus width:                         64-bit

Any idea why I see the slower bus speed reported?

ethtool currently doesn't know about some bus speeds, and will report a wrong
speed. Here's what ethtool currently uses: (ethtool-3/e1000.c)

327                 (reg & E1000_STATUS_PCIX_MODE) ?
328                         ((reg & E1000_STATUS_PCIX_SPEED_133) ? "133MHz" :
329                         (reg & E1000_STATUS_PCIX_SPEED_100) ? "100MHz" :
330                         "66MHz")>              :

obviously 120 is missing, but PCI-E speeds are also missing (2500gbps). The
output of the e1000 module is correct.
