[PLUG] forcing 100 Mbps full duplex connectivity

[Sean Whitney]

That's a load of crap as far as I'm concerned I don't think any network
driver negiotiate's it interface speed based on it's "requirements"

But the common wisedom with Linux is not to force it's duplex setting. 
I haven't had any good experiences forcing duplex.

However speed you should be able to set.  Try mii-diag or mii-tool to
change the speed.  Or it might be a lilo boot setting.
