This will be very strange as it has nothing to do with the driver (Linux
or otherwise) but is being done in the NIC hardware - once you tell the
chip to autodetect, you don't know or care about it...

What would be much more proable is that the router doesn't support
autoneg at all - Some Cisco router models I knwo don't. In yet other,
you might have to switch it on.

It's driver specific. Usually some parameters you supply to the module
when you load it.
