The kernel module for the Netelligent/100 cards is "tlan" (tlan.o).

According to the tlan.c source (/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/tlan.c) there
are two MODULE_PARM declarations you can use:

        speed=100
        duplex=full

To use this, merely add this to your /etc/modules.conf and run "depmod -a":

        # echo "options tlan speed=100 duplex=full" >> /etc/modules.conf
        # depmod -a

Reboot, or bounce the interface:

        # ifdown eth0
        # rmmod tlan
        # ifup eth0

All should be fine.
