Yes, but that would mean a structured approach, and not everybody loves 
that. *vbeg*

I remember, in the old times there was a rule: on 100Mb never do
autonegotiate, on 1Gb always do autonegotiate - but that may vary 
depending on device. I would think, that option, as well as respective 
offloading capabilities, should also carefully checked for influences.

I have one of these pieces here, but it runs in 100Mb mode and sadly I 
have no proper counterpart in reach to do full-speed testing.
