I know that this cause problems (our catalyst is setted 100/Full, my card
should be 100/Full too instead of autonegotiate) but I think that problem is
the driver. I experience many problems with cards not in autonegotiate
(driver say no cable or other, it work ramdomly). The same card with eeprom
setted correctly work perfectly under windows.
