Hmmm, I think you are right!

That is strange, the fxp _used_ to negotiate duplex settings just fine 
against this card. Perhaps its this poxy onboard variant!

fxp0: <Intel Pro/100 Ethernet> port 0xc800-0xc83f mem 0xe7001000-0xe7001fff 
irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci2
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:01:80:10:46:a3

I will re-run them.
