how can I determine the maximum capable speed on a network interface card
The only way I know is to look up the manufacturer's specification for the hardware and compare with the specification for the drivers supplied with the Operating System.
Using manufacture-specific unix commands you can find out the current configuration (if there is one) of each Ethernet card but not the full capabilities.

PCCARDCTL(8) System Manager's Manual PCCARDCTL(8)
NAME
pccardctl - PCMCIA card control utility
lspcmcia - display extended PCMCIA debugging information
SYNOPSIS
pccardctl [-V] [-v ...] command [socket]
lspcmcia [-V] [-v ...] [socket]
DESCRIPTION
pccardctl is used to monitor and control the state of PCMCIA sockets. If a socket number is specified, the command will be applied to just
one socket; otherwise, all sockets will be affected.
If pccardctl is executed by root, all commands are available. If it is executed by an unpriviledged user, only the informational commands
are accessible.
lspcmcia is an alias for pccardctl ls, provided for convenience.
COMMANDS
status
Display the current socket status flags.
config
Display the socket configuration, including power settings, interrupt and I/O window settings, and configuration registers. --not yet
implemented
ident
Display card identification information, including product identification strings, manufacturer ID codes, and function ID codes. Not
yet implemented for cardbus cards. Use lspci instead.
info
Much like the ident command, but its output is formatted as a series of Bourne-stype shell variable definitions for use in scripts.
Not yet implemented for cardbus cards.
ls Display extended debugging information about the PCMCIA sockets and devices present in the system.
suspend
Shut down and then disable power for a socket.
resume
Restore power to a socket, and re-configure for use.
eject
Notify all client drivers that this card will be ejected, then cut power to the socket.
insert
Notify all client drivers that this card has just been inserted.
OPTIONS
-V Show version information and exit.
-v Increase the verbosity of the ls command. Giving this option twice increases verbosity further.
