3324 and MDI/MDIX

i have many of these and just noticed something. i use cat5e crossover cables connecting the switches (g1/g2) to our backbone switches. the rest of the ports are hosts connected via straight through patch cable. all of these hosts are identical machines (hardware/software) but the MDI/MDIX settings are all over the board.

i have auto neg set on and have never messed with the MDI/MDIX settings. what are they all set differently if this should be determined by the cable type and/or NIC. btw latest FW is in effect...

thanks.
