[eepro100] FYI Intel 82559 and Cisco Catalyst incompatibilities

[Kallol Biswas]

FYI, the 82559 adapter does have the ability to sense and indicate the 
link speed without autonegotiation,  the adapter indicates the link 
speed through a status bit, but cannot switch link speed by
itself,  hopefully the eepro100 driver does the work.

> Try using mii-diags to set the link speed to a fixed 100bt-FD.  Do
> the same on your Cisco.  If it's just negotiation problems, this
> should fix it.
