In my experience, doing:

speed 100
duplex auto

will still do autoneg.

duplex full
speed auto

will also do autoneg. The good thing is that if the other end has 100/full 
or 10/full, it will work properly, because speed can always be detected 
even without autoneg being enabled at the other end.

I have a two year old (at least) feature request in with cisco to not 
disable autoneg when both speed and duplex is set, but to (as far as I 
know) no avail.
