Sorry, I misread the post. He tried this. I was under the impression this was due to inconsistent implementation of autonegotiation in hardware. When I was an ISP sysadmin we had this problem with various devices (Cisco switches, Linux and BSD/OS machines). A device would get power cycled and one side would come up 100/full, the other 100/half. We ended up hard setting everything.
