The command modinfo 3c59x lists the options for that driver, and we can refer to this page for a description http://www.scyld.com/vortex.html
To force this driver to be full duplex edit the file /etc/modprobe.conf as root user (Alt+F2 and type 'kdesu konqueror' in the box to get a root copy of konqueror file manager) Add the line options 3c59x full_duplex=1
Then reboot

Do I have to reboot? Shouldn't there be some way to restart the card/settings/whatever without rebooting? I'm spoiled and really really don't want to have to reboot my computer unless it is absolutely required. It feels like it takes too frellin' long to wait for it to shut down and restart itself. *pout*
You should not have to force the card. One thing you could try, as root:
ifdown eth0 <unplug the ethernet cable, wait 60 seconds, and plug it back in> ifup eth0
The card and the router should talk to each other, and decide to go back to full duplex. Even if they do not, it may not be worth doing a reboot to get full duplex back. If you are not doing a lot of file transfer between systems, then chances are you will not notice the difference between full duplex and half duplex. As for you Internet connection, you definitely will not notice a difference.
