Where do you set the duplex and speed of your NIC in Debian

If it is anything like my redhat system,
man mii-tool

Why don't you check why it is going to half-duplex? This usually
indicates a serious problem, as this is the last fall-back of auto-
negotiation....
Problem can range from:
- faulty switch
- incorrect switch setting
- faulty cable
forcing to full duplex without researching the underlying problem
will likely only generate more problems. Also the transmission
time you mention is indicating more problems than just duplex
mismatch.
I'll second this. There was a time when setting the speed/
duplex was almost required for Cisco switches. Not sure anymore.
Trying to force speed/duplex on an HP switch will cause nothing but
problems.
I say start with everything auto and go from there.

I have a Cisco Switch, and my networking background is to not let
anything static do any 'auto'. I want FD, so the switch is set to FD,
and the Server should also be set to FD.
As mentioned duplex problems are usually a wiring issue, and that
would need to be fixed if there is an issue with FD.
FD works fine, no errors on ether Server or Switch (when I set it
with mii-tool), but Debian wants to 'auto negotiate' and fails, and
fall to HD, the Switch being locked at FD, causes collisions on the
server side (normal duplex issue).
If I let it 'auto' and it chooses HD, this would suck (about 33mbps
is all that one could expect from 100m HD). I want FD, so why not set
the network the way it should be, resolve any issue (such as NIC not
coming up in locked FD).
For PC or 'public ports' switches should be auto-negotiated, to
permit what ever PC/laptop plugs in to work, but a Server should be
static.
I will dig deeper, I can not believe that there is a server OS that
does not permit locking of Duplex and Speed.
