You are looking at the wrong side. Configure the switch port to 
Autonegotiate/NWAY and the card will work with the Linux driver.

Alternatively, you can use the mii-diag tool to force the driver/card also 
to 100-FD, but this is not guaranteed to work.

It's the millionth time we answer such question here. Please look in the 
list archives for reason and explanation of the problem.
