This is why I won't use 10/100 Intel cards. I've had numerous 
problems with them and my cisco cat 2924. They really don't seem to 
like talking to another auto-negotiating device. I end up having to 
manually set one side (or both) to get it to work. An unnecessary 
pain in the arse if you ask me. It's been a while since I tried, so 
maybe it was a driver issue and was fixed. For my money, the Kingston 
kne100tx's work fine, and the lne100tx's from Linksys do as well. No 
superlatives, they just work.
