The old speed for network cards was 10 megabits per second. Around 1997, the 100 megabit standard came along. However, the early versions only did one or the other, not both.
Fortunately, NICs and hubs started being 10/100 so you could use both on the same network.
So.... it means that your NIC (network card) can do either 10 or 100 megabits per second.

It's not 10/00 it's 10/100
At one point ethernet devices only supported 10Mbps.
Now they support 100Mbps.
The 100Mbps devices are stilll backwards compatible with the old 10Mbps, but it's not often used.

Actually, its 10/100 meaning it will run at 10mbps or 100mbps
