What happens if you do autoselect -> 100baseTX ?
For me, autoselect -> 10baseT -> 100baseTX keeps the link at 10mb/s,
but autoselect -> 100baseTX, or
autoselect -> 10baseT -> autoselect -> 100baseTX makes it 100mb/s half
duplex as expected.

I'm currently hacking on wm(4), I'll see if I find something for autoneg
