At least on 450x series enhanced linecards, disabling autonegotiation disables auto MDI/MDI-X. You have to enable autonegotiation but you can provide specified offered and acceptable parameters, eg: "speed auto 100" to enable autonegotiation but only allow negotiation of 100 mb. (speed auto 10 100 / speed auto 1000 / etc)
