The driver will autodetect 10 or 100Mb mode upon boot. If neither is detected
it will use 10Mb/s. The driver *never* selects the STP port. Note that the
driver will tell whether it is using 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s in the boot messages.
Can post the output of dmesg to help diagnose your problem?

I'd try another card if possible.
