Even though it is the 21st century and all, my recommendation for network adapters is to turn off autonegotiation. The mechansisms for detecting line speeds are better for 1960's-era phone lines than for LAN adapters. In fact, you can eyeball the speed of an approaching car more accurately than many autospeed detection algorithms can figure out 10/100/1000Mbps. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
