Network card speeds are listed in bits per second.  These are the three
most common speeds:

10 mega bits per second
100 mega bits per second
1 giga bits per second

Don't ask me whether they're playing the SI or bullshit game regarding
mega and giga equalling millions and billions, or using 1024
multipliers.  I gave up trying to remember which different systems went
down that stupid route.  If it said MiB or GiB, I'd know.  Otherwise I
can't tell.
