The typical reasons why a NIC  settles in Half duplex are:

1)   It is attached to a HUB  ( not a switch ) 

2)   It is attached to a switch with no  duplex/speed  negotiation  facilities. 

3)  duplex/speed negotiation  has been turned off for  the switch(port) 

4)  Faulty cable.  

  
The "ndd(1M)"  command allows you to modifiy the cards  configuration 

# ndd /dev/elxl0 \?  

SHows all the parameters

# ndd -set /dev/elxl0  parameter_name parameter_value   

is used to change the default config
