That tells me that you have to get the port on the switch set to
auto-negotiate. I've seen this before and recently with a Intel e100
card and a Cisco switch that was forced to 100/full. The cards would not
work correctly unless both the switch and the cards were allowed to
negotiate. Gigabit cards are even pickier about it.
