Autonegotiation is prone to problems. It only really works if both
ends have the same setting (i.e. both locked down or neither locked
down); if the settings are mismatched then the speed will be selected
correctly but the autonegotiating card will choose half-duplex which
is almost always what you don't want. It'll partially work but you'll
see exactly the sort of problems you reported.
