Agreed -- from experience with a couple of HP Procurve 2424M switches and
various 100Mb cards, the "Auto" setting is less than reliable...  My
Netgear FA310TX(?) and Intel EtherExpress 100B cards all get detected
correctly, but most of the other ones can be a little flaky with 
auto-detect...  If you can't control the switch settings (most unmanaged
switches), you'll have to play with the ifconfig flags to get the net card
and the switch to agree on what protocol they're using.
