Why doesn't Cisco modify the driver to support 10Bt mode on the
Ethernet chip (DEC TULIP). This is the same chip that is in
$25 10/100 Ethernet cards that one can purchase at Frys. Yet this
card sells for $2500 (list price) from Cisco.
Microsoft seems to have no problem making their drivers for the TULIP
run at 10 or 100Mbit...
