when migrating some rackmount HP servers running Centos4 from hard coded 100
meg fdx to auto gigE that we had to

1) remove this from our ifcfg-ethX files

ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

2) proper CAT6 wiring

3) plug into the copper gigE switchport

4) reboot

using Cisco though...

did not find a decent plug n play solution

i.e., did not waste a lot of time looking for solutions other than the
obvious cisco and centos config or network down and up interface commands
