ethtool

Some network device drives support a tool called 
ethtool
. It makes the options-definitions in the /etc/modules.conf file obsolete in the way that you have a real-time interface to network driver parameters. For example you can set the duplex-settings and speed via this interface. Some drivers should support the ethtool-interface, but do not really work well. Others work really great! 
    ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off duplex full speed 100
