the only autonegotiation I know of is when the ethernet card tries to work
out whether it is on a 10Mbps lan or a 100Mbps lan. If I remember there
is a command that you can pass to the pcmcia ethernet driver that
"forces" a 10 or 100 speed connection. What this is I do not know though,
search through the pcmcia source documentation, failing that deja or
google, or if you are really desperate the *actual* source code for the
driver
