From my experience, NIC cards set as Auto don't just have a problem negotiating with Cable Modems, I have seen this happen with Cisco Switches too.

I try Auto, and if it doesn't work, generally go for 10 Mbps Half Duplex or 100 Mbps Half Duplex. Try them all and see what works best.

It seems to be a problem with the Nic cards, and not the Modems/switches.
