Which is more likely: that these tools are all broken, or you didn't actually set the ethernet link speed successfully?

It's (shocks in disgust) a Realtek one, I forgot which specifically, but the "smart" switch (ugh, I hate the naming everything smart) definitely said that it's only a 10M Ethernet connection. So definitely double-checked that.
