I think I have an identical problem involving a Linksys ethernet card
using if_dc. I have to force it to negotiate 10mbps, since it fails to
negotiate anything higher with my 10/100 switch. No idea why at all.

If I set it to auto-negotiate or hard-set to 100mbps, no packets go back
or forth. I've had this problem for at least a year, if not longer. I
have the same problem with 4.4-STABLE using an identical card on different
hardware: if it tries to negotiate 100mbps, then it simply doesn't work.
If I force it to 10, it's fine.
