This is not what I'm thinking of. Say, for example, I have a bunch of
e1000 adapters in my box and want to dynamically change one's spd/dplx.
For that works in the way you described I need to stop all of them and
load with autoneg parameter (can I pass this parameter only to single
card?) and loose all connection I had on other adapters.
It would be better to handle it in ethtool way, since I discovered
it's a common behavior.
Thanks.

I agree. Although ethtool does not have that functionality as of yet.
Feel free to provide a patch to the ethtool maintainer (Jeff Garzik)
if you would like. I will put it on my plate of things to do, but I
will admit that it is near the bottom of the list of items to get done
for me. Feel free to ping me once in awhile to remind me.
