You can use "ifconfig de0 -link2" to change it to 10MBps mode.  If your
card gets insistent about booting in 100base-TX mode, you can always put
the ifconfig command early in your rc startup file, before the network
daemons load -- changing the setting if the card is already in 10base-T
mode won't hurt anything.
