The 3com 2948-SFP Plus switch here is reporting that my PE2950 is at
gigabit speed:

Port State      Enabled 
PVID            1   
Flow Control    Disabled
Speed           Auto[1000M]
Duplex          Auto[Full]

However, mii-tool on the 2950 says that it's at 100 megabit:

[root at hcnas samba]# mii-tool -v eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
  product info: vendor 00:08:18, model 54 rev 6
  basic mode:   autonegotiation enabled
  basic status: autonegotiation complete, link ok
  capabilities: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
  advertising:  100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
flow-control
  link partner: 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx-HD 10baseT-FD 10baseT-HD
[root at hcnas samba]#

I've got the hardware and software repositories configured and I've been
doing yum updates but have not done any update_firmware commands
recently.

OS installed is CentOS-5.
