I never leave these on auto-negotiate at home. I always select a
media type. I've had problems with the 509b's detecting coax, and
with them detecting the network when connected to some oddball
gear (a hub of dubious provenance that I can't remember the brand
of right now)

Haven't had a problem since forcing the settings with the appropriate
3Com configuration utilities.
