Ah, nice one. Yes, it's an e1000 driver at least, so I shall investigate.
Actually, crazy question, but how on earth do I tell if it's a 100Mbit or a
1Gbit interface?  Obviously the link is 100Mbit since I don't have a gigabit
router, but I cannot find any definitive information about whether the board
has a 1Gbit interface or not. It's a standard Intel G33 board, I believe...
