That depends on whether it's qe at qec (quad 10Mb) or be at qec (quad 10/100).I will likely shut the machine down and remove the quad qe card. It really serves no useful purpose at 10Mbit/sec.We built the whole damn world on 10Mbps 35 years ago. Worked great then.Works great now, too...provided your expectations have stood still for the last 35 years. Most people's haven't. Not even mine. I've been spoiled by 100Mb and, to a lesser extent, gigabit.
Oh, I get it. I have 10GBps from my desktop to the primary VM host cluster here. The $0.50 microcontroller that's on the board I just finished laying out is a good bit more powerful than my desktop workstations' processors were back then, too. And I used high-end workstations!
It's just that when people call it "useless", well, frankly, I know better. We got a great deal of work done, just fine, at 10Mbps.
Something better coming along doesn't make what it replaced worse. Salesmen seem to have most of society believing that it does, though.
