So, the question would be did your system once have "Allow auto-negotiation" checked but it became unchecked without action on your part?  And what does ethertool show to
be the current speed?  Are you unable to set it to the desired speed?
I can select the desired settings and also enabling auto-negotiation
works, but for some reason it was set to 100/half without me doing anything.
I'm not sure I ever touched those settings on that system before (and I
definitely did not set it to something this slow on purpose). I think it
was a new install of F26 with home directory carried over from earlier
Fedora releases and then updated to F27.

My understanding is that if one end (your PC) has auto negotiation disabled while the other end (switch or router) has it enabled, the link speed is set correctly, but the duplex setting falls back to half-duplex. So that half-duplex setting is due to autoneg being off for whatever reason.

The problem I had here was that the ifcfg-* file came from an existing configuration (F25) and did not have the ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on". Normally I don't touch the Ethernet configuration, but if you do then when you open the KDE-Plasma NM settings it will show this as auto neg off, 100 MBits/ half duplex. If you don't notice this (maybe you are just setting a static IP address), it will store the settings like this and you get a forced 100Mbits/s mode. I think it should default to auto neg if the settings are not given in the original file or if there are no previous settings.

If think if you remove the default ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 file, reboot and edit your network settings you will see this behaviour.

On top of this I "believe" 3 of my systems changed to 100 MBits/s within the last few weeks without me setting any network settings, probably on an RPM update of something.
