Nowadays auto-neg almost always works for us, even for Fast Ethernet.
We have Cisco-Extreme, Cisco-Juniper, Cisco-Cisco, Cisco-Riverstone
and of course lots of Cisco-various hosts. Basically, things just
work. We always use auto-neg for Gigabit Ethernet.

3-4 years ago the situation was different, and we always used to set
speed/duplex. Not any more.

Maybe you've been unlucky.
