Thanks to all regarding ethtool, the apparently obselete mii-tool, and
the tip about getting this all accomplished at boot time--all your
responses together are just what I needed.

I'd say that should be a pre-up, especially if you use dhcp and the
interface won't work until you manually set the speed. Also, mii-tool is
obsolete, you should probably use:
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
