there's a program called ethtool that you can use to change things like
half-duplex/full-duplex 10/100 type settings.

you can actually change your mac address with ifconfig:
# ifconfig eth0 hw ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
i suspect it is because i am a geek, but i find vague amusement in
being able to change that:
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:DE:AD:BE:EF:00
....
(and note, this is why mac-address-based authentication systems
are inherently insecure)
