Okay, I don't know what's going on with the bug reporting software, but my last two emails showed up empty even though Thunderbird's "Sent" folder shows that my comments were included. I will cut-&-paste my last two emails into the s web form and hope it works better. They were as follows:

Sorry my last reply was empty. For some reason Thunderbird did not include my comments. Let's try again. Comments are below.

Okay, I tried it. Did not work. By setting the speed with ethtool I can change the light on my adapter from 10 to 100 mb/s, which looks like a I have a link, but ethtool reports no link and i can't ping out. When I turn autoneg back to 'on', the light goes out and it goes back to rotating through the speeds/duplex, etc.

Just for s&g, I tried connecting a PC (non-laptop) with a 3Com 3C509C to the same gigabit switch and it hooked up immediately. So it appears it may be an issue specifically with the 3Com 3CCFEM656 card.
