That's hard to believe for a wired card.

Is this a wireless card? If so, you need to use iwconfig and look
for the "Bit Rate" value:
[root@golem3 ~]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"mynetwork"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.452 GHz Access Point:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
-------> Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx
Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-39 dBm Noise level=-95
dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
