This one:

Nov 30 09:15:32 poptart vmunix: tu0: DECchip 21143: Revision: 3.0
Nov 30 09:15:32 poptart vmunix: tu0: auto negotiation capable device
Nov 30 09:15:32 poptart vmunix: tu0 at pci0 slot 3
Nov 30 09:15:32 poptart vmunix: tu0: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet
Interface, hardware address: 00-00-F8-75-7B-25
Nov 30 09:15:32 poptart vmunix: tu0: auto negotiation off: selecting
100BaseTX (UTP) port: full duplex

Does not work very well at 100/full.  This is in a miata (500au) with a
IBM switch on which everything else (even the dreaded Sun hme and qfe)
autonegotiate fine and blast away at 100/full.  Since the time of that
boot (Tru64 5.1) I have had to 'ifconfig tu0 speed 100 down; ifconfig tu0
up' to put it back to half-duplex.  It has been plugged into a couple
cheap SMC and Linksys mini-switches and exhibited the same problem.  It
only seems to autonegotiate sucessfully with 10Mb hubs, which isn't real
exciting.

But I do have a DE500 in a PC164 that works fine.  The machine isn't on at
the moment, but when I get a chance I'll post that.
