Ditto.  I'm currently sitting at my workstation (Sun Ultra2) and its hme0
autonegotiates fine with my Cisco 3524XL each and every time.  I don't even
have to pin any of the interfaces to 100/full.  Admittedly I have had
problems in the past, namely a bunch of E4500s to some 5000-series switches. 
Since they were in remote datacenters, I did pin the interfaces on both
ends.
