I've not yet seen an NE2000 not auto-sense correctly. I believe (but I'm not going to be any money ;-) that the only drivers that have problems with auto-sense are the 3COM drivers. I made an attempt at adding auto-sense support to the vx driver (3C90X et al), but dropped it due to (a) the protocol for doing autosense seeming to be nonsensically specified (deadlocks, IIRC), and (b) somebody else saying they had started work on writing an entire new driver (which made further work meaningless).
