What happens if you just don't muck with the NIC and let it auto-negotiate
on it's own?
This can be asking for trouble too (auto negotiation is often buggy).
I'be seen much more broken networks than buggy autonegotiation. If they
negotiate something funny, check and fix the network.

In this case it's going to negotiate with the exact same device
in the other box when connected with a X-over cable, and with
a Netgear switch on my desk when not. In both cases, I have
complete control of the "network".
FYI I just upgraded to Linux-2.6.11 I'm going to repeat my
experiment(s) later today after I put the same kernel on
my other machine.
