For me this works. Theoretically you could also add a line:- up mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD eth0 to /etc/networking/interfaces. BUT this does not always work, and some have suggested:- up sleep 30; mii-tool -F 100BaseTx-FD eth0 Some drivers also support parameters that will force the speed and duplex settings, but the tg3 driver for one does not. Some drivers do not work well with mii-tool, for those try ethtool.
