You might want to check with Cisco's web site to see whether there are any known issues with the specific NIC that you are using. Intel Pro Series NICs seem to be the most reliable in auto-detecting speed and duplex. That being said, there does appear to be some issues with Gigabit Ethernet ports. Unix and Linux -based systems seem to have the fewest problems detecting the links speed and duplex. Windows-based systems seem to have the most difficulty. It appears that the Microsoft drivers attempt to use software instead of letting the hardware perform the detection function.
