I would agree that listing them under the highest capable is probably the
best. It is, at least, consistent with the 10/100 cards.

Also, people will pick up the card, think "gigabit ethernet", and then look
under the 1000 section. I don't think anyone will really think GigE and
then look under 10/100.

The Intel 82543 and 82544 gigabit parts are all 10/100/1000 -- I'll be
writing a driver for those in a few weeks if nobody beats me to it, so I
think it would be good to settle this.
