Default Everything OK?

The kernel reports following:

kernel: VIA VT6105 Rhine-III at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1
Link 45e1
kernel: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1.

How does this sound like? I wonder if full-duplex is good since some guys
have had problems with it. I didnt install the drivers from the CD since I
heard they are bad, but went with the ones my 2.4 Linux offered

I had one connection breakout but it was fixed when I restarted eth0. So far
it has been running OK.
