Some ports are auto-crossover, others are not. It sounds like the linksys 
is auto-crossover but the inveneo is not. On the other hand, I found it 
difficult to understand the exact problem from your description, so 
perhaps it's not relevant anyway.

It depends on the device manufacturer, but usually it means something 
like: both sides can talk to each other and successfully negotiated a link 
speed and duplex setting.

Cheers, Chris.
