I don't know anything about this particular inteface, but in general
some NIC chips can be equipped with different transceiver hardware. For
example the PCI NIC DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) can have a bunch of
different transcievers, with some more expensive external hardware for
100Mbps (used in higher end PCI NIC cards for servers) and a cheaper
solution for 10Mbps (used in Compaq consumer PCs).

Maybe there is a similar issue with the USB NICs?
