Hi there tripp.
10mbit 802.3 ethernet can transfer data at 20 megabaud.
Here's a good quote:
"The baud rate is the rate of signal change on the medium (usually
expressed as a worst-case value). Since 10 Mb/s Ethernet uses one
transition (per bit) for the clock, and a second transition for data
(in the worst-case), it has a baud rate of 20 Mbaud."

)
However, using baud to measure ethernet communication is not the best
way of doing things, because it forces us to consider the physical
layer, rather than the actual implementation's speed - which is why
most people refer to ethernet speed in bits per second, or degrees
thereof.

I hope this helps. However, if anything's unclear, then please request
clarification before rating this answer.
