If you do an "ifconfig" from a terminal window, you should see the
following:

Where you see the txqueuelen:100 - that's your speed...now when you want
to get DEEPER than that, you'll have to find out what your module
reports when loading - or find out if there are switches to use with
that module when it loads...
You can make the direct modifications to the cards module in the
/etc/modules.conf file...JUST BE CAREFUL and make a backup of the file
prior to playing...
You can remove a mod from running with: rmmod modulename
You can insert the module again with the switches you want to add with:
insmod modulename -iobase=XXXXX irq=XXXXX switches=XXXXX (but consult
that modules readme or other info before playing...)
