cfgmaker is finding that my card is of type ethernetCsmacd (6)

mii-tool however says I have fast ethernet:

#mii-tool eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok

By forcing MRTG to see it as 100 did you mean having MRTG think it's a 10 
but display that it is a 100, or did you mean actually have MRTG think it's 
a 100 and mean it?

Also is forcing MRTG to do anything a good thing? I'd rather try and figure 
out why MRTG thinks it's a card of type 6 instead of 62.

Is cfgmaker is getting it's info from SNMP? Maybe I didn't configure my 
SNMPd properly or something ... more research :-)

If any has any hints on where I should be looking to solve this, pointers 
are always appreciated.
