The card is a TN799 B vintage 000001, the new ones are TN799 DP HW01 FW012.

The TN799B is a very old card and cannot be upgraded by firmware. Neither it nor the 259A adapter behind it will support 100M. You will need to replace the card and adapter if you want 100M, also beware of the other discussion here about the cat3, cat5 cabling in the cabinet. You must have cat5 to run 100M.
I would be leery of the gray two port adapter, if it came with the card ok. That means Avaya has changed their manufacturing process again. The only time I ever used the gray adapter was with IPSI cards and the two adapters were not interchangeable.
If you get a TN799DP with a firmware of 12, upgrade it before using it. The latest firmware is 16.
