On the Mac side it's mostly Asante brand 10 megabit network cards that don't
properly signal that they only support 10 megabit, half duplex.
That can cause problems with 10/100 hubs and switches that rely only on the
specific media detection signals that were added to the Ethernet standards with
the 100 megabit standard.
