>Correct, Aaron, any NIC/switch/router should be able to auto-negotiate the
right link speeds. If they didn't then putting a gigabit switch into an environment
with some CAT5 cable would break those circuits, which thanks be to Odin
it doesn't.

Bizarre that a Mac couldn't do this, but what do I know about Macs save the
BSD core that is down there in the core.
