The only other way I know to change the speed is with ethtool and/or setting something in the bios for the specific network card (see during post). I don't think gigabyte puts in the the normal bios, but I seem to remember there being 2-3 settings in the network card bios including a cable length detect option and 2 other options which may let one limit speed. You said it is a managed switch, you do have the switch set to auto right? If the switch is hard set and the node is auto the standard says the auto guy will default to 100/half I think (maybe 100full), but certainly not Gbit anything. Both ends *MUST* be set exactly the same for it to work, auto with anything other than auto will act badly. auto/auto is what you want, It has been 15+ years since I have seen any combination that actually needed to be hard set to work right.
