Can a speed and duplex mismatch between two lan cards, cause the media state of network cable to be reported as disconnected.

I've seen this cause problems before.

A Windows XP machine was set to auto & even though it was on a 10mb hub, it auto set to 100mb & was knocking off everyone attached to that hub.

You're best bet is to try all the speed options offered by the NIC (trying duplex at half & then full for each) to see if you can find the right setting. Sometimes auto thinks it knows best.
