Might be nice to be able to fix the speed and duplex of the Ethernet port of the Squeezebox. Obviously, not all devices offer this ability, particularly the unmanaged switches in most home network routers, so it would be a plus to be able handle it on the Squeezebox end. When it's doable, I've seen quite a few sketchy Ethernet connections that were stabilized by fixing the speed at 100Mbps. I don't always know why, but I think it has less to do with poor cabling than it does incompatibilities in the autonegotion process.
