Indeed, if one side is hardcoded, autoneg will "fail" and the side trying to 
autoneg is required by the specs (not that I know chapter and verse to quote 
from the IEE stuff :( to go into half-duplex.

Was 10M/Fullduplex ever standardized?  If not I could see where kit might not be 
willing/able to autoneg to that.
