While we're on the autoneg subject...

Has anyone else run into cases of newer computers that support a powersave 
and/or
"wake-on-lan" state where in that instance the interface goes into a 10Mb/full 
connection?

Drives us nuts with the growing "green" initiatives...

Computers that do that go into some sort of zombie state that doesn't quite 
autoneg
properly, our switches (Cisco and Procurve) go to 10/full, but the device 
doesn't seem
to quite be full, and the ports will generate lots of up/downs and errors while 
in that
state.

If you're doing any sort of monitoring that involves trapping mac-address 
changes or
linkup/linkdowns, they'll drive your monitors crazy too...

When they're "working" they'll do gig/full, but when in this zombie state, they 
autoneg
down to 10/full
