Please excuse my insensitivity (or not, as you like, I do not intend to
make you feel obligated to do anything). No offense intended.

I have changed the text to use Fast Ethernet instead of the incorrect Gbe.

I have not changed the image.

Would you like to consider changing what is probably text in some CAD
program to read "FE" instead of "GBE", re-export the schematic as an
image and upload the more correct version? I expect that to look much
better than me trying to change the image with an image editor.

IMHO promoting a better specification than intended to deliver is
dangerous for the project's reputation.

Thanks,
Erik
