- Try this on the switch, from enable mode:
-
- 	conf t
-       int fa5/34
-       speed 100
- 	duplex full
- 	spanning-tree portfast
- 	end

It was the portfast.  It was disabled on all ports for that particular
card.  Thanks!  The laptop connects nicely now.

Just as an aside, have you had any luck with locking a switch port in
full duplex?  I've found unless the system card is locked too, the
system will fall back to half duplex creating a real mess!  I think
the spec for Ethernet requires that if the remote end refuses to
negotiate duplexing, the card must fall back to half duplex.  That is
consistent with my experience.
