no, you are probably doing something else very wrong and autoneg 
failing is an effect, not a cause.

yet, the "autoneg is problematic" myth keeps spreading, yet it is utter 
bullshit.
i don't have a single box with autoneg problems here, and that is all 
kind of architectures with a _lot_ of different NICs to several 
different cisco switches.
