Hi,

	I'm sorry, but autonegotiation is a myth. In the real world
it is more dangerous than it does good. I ran a managed server hosting
company for 9 years, and every item in there was all hardcoded with speed
and duplex. Even Cisco said between routers of the same make/model there
were auto issues.

	My life has been much happier since. :)
