Yes, but that would mean a structured approach, and not everybody loves that. *vbeg* I remember, in the old times there was a rule: on 100Mb never do autonegotiate, on 1Gb always do autonegotiate - but that may vary depending on device. I would think, that option, as well as respective offloading capabilities, should also carefully checked for influences. I have one of these pieces here, but it runs in 100Mb mode and sadly I have no proper counterpart in reach to do full-speed testing.
