Nate;
On my primary system, using an on-board lan (Broadcom) mii-tool reports:
eth0:
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok
  product info: vendor 00:10:18, model 54 rev 0
  basic mode:   autonegotiation enabled
  basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
  capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
  advertising:  100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
flow-control
  link partner: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
flow-control
On my other system using a 3-Com 3c905TX, mii-tool reports: 
eth0: negotiated, link ok
  product info: vendor 00:00:00, model 0 rev 0
  basic mode:   autonegotiation enabled
  basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
  capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
  advertising:  100baseTx-FD 10baseT-FD
  link partner: 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-HD
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
  product info: vendor 00:10:18, model 18 rev 0
  basic mode:   autonegotiation enabled
  basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
  capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD

  link partner: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
flow-control
eth1 not being used at this point, I'm in the process of building this
system to be a firewall.  Not sure if there is anything there
significant.

Thanks!
