    I would second that. My cheap rl card performs better with auto than
    with either 100TX-full or 100TX-half ('tho its always auto'ed to 100TX
    full duplex anyway).

    And by way of interest, I have just experienced a similar problem with
    NICs + 100 baseT switch - it was a 3Com Office connect card (xl driver)
    that I had the issues with, and ended up replacing it with a DLink (vr
    driver).

    Cheers
