Full-duplex means the card can send and receive at the same time. Unless
you have a heavily loaded system, you probably will not be able to measure
the performance difference.

As to why the card is falling back to the default, half-duplex mode, it
could be the driver, the cable or the hub/switch electronics. It's hard
to say.
