[Patch] Fix asix-based gigabit cards connecting to 10 or 100Mbs networks (resend)

Sorry for the previous mail, I think this will go as plain text now.

Hi,
This morning I mentioned a problem with my belkin card not connecting
to my network.
The following patch fixes this problem. It would be great to include
this to 2.6.28.

Thanks,
Pantelis

Add AX_MEDIUM_ENCK also when speed = 10/100Mbps. This allows my belkin
f5d5055 to work with my 100Mbps switch and with an old 10Mbps ISA card.
Without this patch, the card is recognized and the interface is brought
up fine, but no packets actually flow through the interface.
