If it's a Cisco switch auto-negotiation is generally a bad idea. Setting
both sides to 100 fdx is usually the best bet. I usually add:

set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0

to my /etc/system file.
