    In short, yes. But please read the long answer as well.

    Ultra 10 should be recent enough to support 100/full - supposing that
    it can negotiate that with your switch. If you have a managed switch,
    do make sure that you at least initially have autonegotiation enabled.
    Only start forcing link parameters, if the negotiation does not work -
    and in that case, do force identical settings on both ends of the link.
    If you only force either end of the link, chances are that the other
    end of the link causes a duplex mismatch. Or, more properly: if one
    end of the link is forced to 100/full, the other end _will_ end up
    with 100/half, if its autonegotiation is working by the specification.
