autosense may in fact not work, especially on low-quality NICs like rl.


I don't agree to that.
I had similar problems with my network using a cheap switch with some
realtek nics. I had the nics running 100baseTX Full Duplex.
Changing this to autosense made the problems gone.

Your one example does not disprove the statement.  I've seen this
problem myself, and so have many others.

I found this document extremely helpful in understanding ethernet autonegotiation, especially the table on page 7:
