Hi there, are you just wondering why Novell doesn't show that it has a 1 Gbps connection? This is a display limitation of the driver but the virtual NIC will still be able to run up to the full speed of the physical NIC. So if the NIC in the host is 1 Gbps, then the VM will be able to run at up to the speed regardless if it displays that it has a 10 or 100 or 1000 Mbps connection.
