The reason I ask, is that I have a MB with a Sis900 ethernet that wouldn't work correctly with my 10mb hub. It turns out, though, that in my CMOS, it was set to 100mb. I changed it there and things have worked like a charm ever since. If it's not a CMOS thing for you, I know we've had problems at work with other ethernet adapters where duplexing was a problem. Evidently, we had cards trying to connect to switches in the wrong duplex mode, I believe it was a problem with the switches, although I don't remember all of the details. Finally, we've also had some marginal network cables that worked fine at 10mb or 100mb, but never auto-detect. Once replaced, things worked fine.
Just some thoughts, although the simplest thing would be to not auto-detect and manually set it.
