This is what I have added to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file on one of our Dell
2850 SPLAT firewalls.

# Set up speed and full duplex
ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool -s eth1 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool -s eth2 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool -s eth3 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool -s eth4 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
ethtool -s eth5 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

Mii-tool has problems setting the speed to 1000 for a gig network card. Also
if you are using an Intel 1000/PRO card there is a driver update from
Checkpoint R55 for stability.

Hope it helps
Jason

Subject: Re: [FW-1] SPLAT interface speed?

Hi,
Try mii-tool command to view/set interface speed.

eg.: To force the eth1 interface to 100 Mbps link speed, full duplex use
mii-tool eth1 -F 100baseTx-FD  To view the interface status and I/O u cab
use ifconfig -a.
