[c-nsp] CRC errors on fastethernet interface

Two or three people have pointed out that "speed 100" should be set on the interface of the 7206. To quote my original message...

I originally tried the "speed 100" command on the ethernet interface of the 7206. To my complete surprise, the 7206 does not seem to recognize that command. It's running...

"IOS (tm) 7200 Software (C7200-IK9SU2-M), Version 12.3(23), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc5)"

When I try to set the speed, it rejects the config line.

core-gw1.noc(config)#int fastethernet0/0
core-gw1.noc(config-if)#speed 100
                         ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

This is a complete surprise to me, to say the least. If there is some other command to set the speed, I can't find it.
