I've been having an off-line conversation with David Kelley about this.
I believe the behavior of displaying the media type selected in the
probe output started in the 3.5-RELEASE, and this system is a
2.2.8-RELEASE.

I found in /sys/src/pci/if_fxp.c that there is an IOCTL (SIOCGIFMEDIA)
that should do the trick with just a small C wrapper program...

Link and 100meg is on on both the NIC and the hub.  If I trust the
Ethernet hardware to properly report what it negotiated (and no reason
not to), we got the 100Mbit.  No way to know for sure about FDX/HDX.
