This is true for most 10/100 Base-T implementations I've seen.
None of them have been able to reliably auto-detect. Any time I hear
someone complain of network throughput problems, this is one of the
first things I have them check. However, this would not seem to be
the case in this instance, unless 4.7 and 5.x are not handling
auto-detect in the same way.
