We also used to test ect2 and elnk3 both wired to an old D-Link so called switch. Auto negociation clearly was a big mess and we were obliged to do it by hand. Further more we discovered that operations became very slOooooow and finaly stated it came from the switch ASIC since a more recent did not produce the same results. The switch got killed, the ploblems (auto-nego / perfs) disapeared. Next time, we may buy a Cisco 19xx or 29xx, those work for sure !
