  As far as I understand, Linux does full-duplex without
autonegotiation because it is say to do full-duplex (like FreeBSD's
"ifconfig re0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"). Is it violation
of standard too -- manual configuration of FD?

   As far as I understand, again, it is not broken, but disabled,
 because cause problems on some devices...
