I've put the relevant parts of ifconfig at the bottom.

A new Addtron 100Mbps 8 port hub.I haven't forced the Boomerang into
full-duplex because vortex-diag shows it in full-duplex mode regardless of
what mode I put it in (with the exception of forcing it into 10baseT and
half-duplex in which case it can't connect to the network anyway.) I
realized after your message that I had only run mii-diag for the network
card on the server that is connected to the net, (which is why it showed up
in 10baseT) so I will add the more important output on eth1 to the bottom.

Thanks,
