Default Re: Using sysconfig or the command line to change nic speed and duplex settings
Here's a tidbit I found in CP SecureKnowledge. Solution ID: sk26592
This is for a 1 gb nic. If it's a 100 mhz, drop a zero.
modify the /etc/modules.conf file by adding this line.

option e1000 Duplex=2,2,2 Speed=1000, 1000, 1000

I'm a bit puzzled because this is what my modules.conf looks like now.
alias eth0 e100
alias eth1 e100
alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx
alias scsi_hostadapter cpqarray
alias scsi_hostadapter1 sym53c8xx
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
