I've experienced this with 3Com and Intel cards as well.  I traced it to a
Kingston switch and (in another situation) a Linksys switch, both of which
were supposed to be 10/100 autosensing switches.

This worked in both situations, but changing out the switch (sometimes for
another of the same brand but different model) solved the problem as well.

You get what you pay for...
