Colin next to me pointed out we should find out what the actual speeds of things like 802.3 (ethernet), 802.11 (wifi), DSL, etc. are quoted in. Is a 100 Mb/s LAN 100,000,000 b/s or 104,857,600 b/s? If someone can provide a cited reference to the specification, we'll know what unit to use for ifconfig.
