autosense may in fact not work, especially on low-quality NICs like rl.
I don't agree to that.
I had similar problems with my network using a cheap switch with some
realtek nics. I had the nics running 100baseTX Full Duplex.
Changing this to autosense made the problems gone.
Reason (as some people of the german questions-list told me):
Many cheap switches always send their autosensepakets, and have great
problems if the nics connected to the switch do not response to the
autosensepakets (cause they are configured to 10/100baseTX full/half
duplex).
Also realtek nics are far away from being good nics, they work without
problems with the autosensemode and a cheap switch for me (and many
other people I know).
I would suggest the starter of this thread to use autosense with his nic
(if not tested yet).
