I don't have any experience with PCMCIA devices, but for PCI/ISA network
devices, you can force the negotiation with device options in the
/etc/conf.modules. For a 3Com card, this would look like this:
alias eth0 3c59x
options eth0 full_duplex=1
The options syntax depend on the device driver. I suggest you look in
the source code to see what, if any, options there are. I know you can
do this for a PCMCIA card, but I'm not sure if /etc/conf.modules is the
right place for it. Note that you should not have to force the card
as it will negotiate with the connecting device as to speed/duplex and
I believe (could be wrong...) that the negotiation start high and works
down, i.e. 100/full -> 10.
