If you are taking your card out of autonegotiate mode, then the switch is
not going to be able to figure out the duplex.  Basically you just need to
get a NIC that works correctly autonegotiating with your switch, or you
are stuck at 100Mbit/s half-duplex.  While a switch can figure out whether
you are talking 10Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s at it (when your NIC is not doing
NWAY), it has no way to know whether you can receive and transmit at the
same time.  I have a Netgear 4 port that has dipswitches that will let me
force the port to full-duplex.  My 8 port switch (Linksys DSS-8E?) doesn't
have any such fancy stuff so I am forced to get cards that do NWAY right
with NetBSD for the machines on that switch.
