Hi,
Between the nic and the switch don't worry you won't even get a link if there is a
speed mismatch. These things I think you will find do a little clocking if they don't
get together there nothing will happen.
Autonegotiate does something similar to modems training and will establish the best or
a predefined rate. (this is not always very successful depending on how the
manufacturers do it)
