There does not seem to be any way of checking or setting these, but as
there is a built in DHCP server and a 10/100 ethernet interface Its
likely it auto negotiates its connection.

This is what I was getting and found that I had set to 100mps/full
duplex, probably last time I took the machine to our user club.
resetting to Auto now achieves around 2.2.MB/sec transfers (same
apparent speed as the PC),What speeds could be expected from a 100Mbps
interface ?

the same file takes about the same time to transfer from the Iyonix
to either the PC or the nslu2.
