Autonegotiation is not a reliable feature of neither hubs, switches or NICs. Your best chance for success is to force both ends to the speed and duplex mode you want. Your switch will have a vendor (and model somtimes) dependent procedure to do this. Under linux, use the mii-tool program to set/query the NIC's parameters. Try man mii-tool for more information.
