Inspiron N7010 question about ethernet-controller

Question

Hi guys. I have Dell inspiron N7010 with installed Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller. Does it mean that my LAN card communicates only at 10/100 MBps? I need a Gigabit LAN. What should I do?   That's what i found   Compatible Products: Atheros AR81xx Series PCI-E Ethernet Controller AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Atheros PCI-E Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1026 Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1063 Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1062 Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1073, PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1083 Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_2060, PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_2062   So to have Gbit LAN should I instal Atheros AR8131 or Atheros AR8151 ethernet controller?
