But shouldn't the Squeezebox auto-negotiate the connection down to
10Mbps if 100Mpbs fails?

True. If you're not following one of the standards, that's probably
the most common way to incorrectly wire the jacks or plugs.
If 10Mbps is working, but 100Mbps is not, there could be a host of
problems - too tight of a radius in a cable bend, running the cable
parallel to electrical wiring, running too near fluorescent light
fixtures, nailing or stapling through the cable.
I've posted this before, but here's my little spiel on running
