Real simply, Autonegotiation between two devices is simply the devices 'talking' to each other to find the speed and mode that both can 'talk' at. Just like when modems connect to each other...they go through the 'conversation' of finding out at what speed they can both talk without losing the 'conversation'. If you have one ethernet card that can autonegotiate and another that can't, then the autonegotiation will be pointless since they will run at the speed/mode that the second card is set to. Sometimes, two cards that are suppose to autonegotiate can't...due to problems between vendors.
As far as your second question, that is dependent on what you have....see
this article for some help.

NAME
hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack
SYNOPSIS
hciattach [-b] [-n] [-p] [-t timeout] [-s speed] [-l] [-r] tty type|id speed flow bdaddr
DESCRIPTION
Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI transport interface.
OPTIONS
-b Send break.
-n Don't detach from controlling terminal.
-p Print the PID when detaching.
-t timeout
Specify an initialization timeout. (Default is 5 seconds.)
-s speed
Specify an initial speed instead of the hardware default.
-l List all available configurations.
-r Set the HCI device into raw mode (the kernel and bluetoothd will ignore it).
tty This specifies the serial device to attach. A leading /dev can be omitted. Examples: /dev/ttyS1 ttyS2
type|id
The type or id of the Bluetooth device that is to be attached, i.e. vendor or other device specific identifier. Currently supported
types are
type description
any Unspecified HCI_UART interface, no vendor specific options

0x0160, 0x0002
BrainBoxes PCMCIA card (BL620)
speed The speed specifies the UART speed to use. Baudrates higher than 115.200bps require vendor specific initializations that are not
implemented for all types of devices. In general the following speeds are supported:
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600
Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their respective best settings.
flow If the keyword flow is appended to the list of options then hardware flow control is forced on the serial link ( CRTSCTS ). All
above mentioned device types have flow set by default. To force no flow control use noflow instead.
sleep Enables hardware specific power management feature. If sleep is appended to the list of options then this feature is enabled. To
disable this feature use nosleep instead. All above mentioned device types have nosleep set by default.
Note: This option will only be valid for hardware which support hardware specific power management enable option from host.
bdaddr The bdaddr specifies the Bluetooth Address to use. Some devices (like the STLC2500) do not store the Bluetooth address in hardware
memory. Instead it must be uploaded during the initialization process. If this argument is specified, then the address will be
used to initialize the device. Otherwise, a default address will be used.
