I found this on another message board. Assuming we are using the eepro100 driver you need to make the following entries in /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 eepro100 options eepro100 options=0x30 The various options are: Hex Decimal Meaning 0x10 16 Force Full-Duplex operation (must be used with 0x20 or 0x40) 0x20 32 Force 100mbps-only operation 0x30 48 Force 100mbps-only with Full Duplex 0x40 64 Force 10mbps-only 0x50 80 Force 10mpps-only with Full Duplex I also found this as well. man mii-tool for syntax on the command, but if your device supports it, then /sbin/mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD eth0 will force eth0 to 100/FD.

I ran across my first case of needing to do this today, as we have a linux box plugged into a Cat2900 with 100/FD non-auto settings for the port. Taking care of this was as easy as setting the switchport to auto and bouncing the interface, HOWEVER, that is against the corporate standards, so I need to know how to do this in the future without fiddling with the switch. Thanks!
