I set for 10 or 100 Mb and it works OK - with auto-negotiate enabled or
disabled.  If the switch is set for 1000 Mb, auto-negotate is enabled
with
no option to disable.

-- FYI: I have tried using another distro (SuSE) and I have not found
any of the
numerous networking problems that occur in Fedora.  I think they are all
using the same drivers so it must be the code that calls the drivers...
