	And what happens if you force the interface?  Does it still work?
Is it full 10 or 100 or half 10 or 100?
Are you getting this from the messages file on rebooting or some other
means?  How do you know what the hub (switch) thinks?

... Has anyone come across a case =
where the hme interface lies about what 
 duplex setting it's using?

Reason being is that we've moved one =
of our interfaces from one hub to another. 
 The new hub
 reckons that it's using full duplex, =
but the interface reckons on only 
 half-duplex. And yes, we have tried =
the
 original hub port (reported as full =
duplex) and other new hub ports (still 
 half-duplex).
