standard 10bT, half-duplex only

even if the interface supported more, 
I doubt the processor could handle it...

since you should only be using full-duplex going into a switch,
there should be no problem. I have mine on a 10/100 auto-sensing switch
with the rest of my core equipment, a mix of 10M/100M/FDx/HDx.
