If you've got a duplex mismatch, it's because the switch isn't doing its own autosensing properly. Try forcing the switch to the same settings as those to which you forced the NIC, if you can. If you can't (which I would expect in a device at such a low price), then set different settings on the NIC, or even try letting the card autosense too. Unfortunately, autosensing has always had a few interoperability problems, although they are *much* less common than they were five years ago. [Five years ago was the last time I worked on it myself...] Good luck.
