If an Etch system is connected to the 'net _via_ a

an old AT-3612TR hub and a Netgear DS104 hub,
communication works at 10 Mb/s, half duplex. The
light on the Belkin adapter is green.

If the AT hub is removed and the Belkin adapter is
connected directly to the Netgear hub, its 100 Mb/s
link light goes on while the Belkin light goes amber.
ethtool reports 100 Mb/s, half on the adapter but
communication fails.

Can anyone say whether this more likely a problem
with hardware or a problem with the Pegasus driver
which runs the Belkin adapter. In the second case,
I suppose a bug report is warranted.

Can other boxes/NICs get 100 Mb/s across the AT hub? Perhaps the AT hub
is only 10 Mb/s.
