you can do this by telling the mac to run at 10Mb ethernet else it tries
to run as fast of a network connection as it can. the hub does it
automagically as should a switch. this is a low level ethernet protocol
and should not require any user intervention for devices that
autoconfigure. if they don't then something is broken.
