	options e100 e100_speed_duplex=4

Values are:

	0 = autonegotiate
	1 = 10Mb/half
	2 = 10Mb/full
	3 = 100Mb/half
	4 = 100Mb/full

See "modinfo e100", "/usr/share/doc/kernel*/networking/e100.txt"
(assuming you have the kernel-docs RPM installed) or
"/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/e100.txt" (if you have the
kernel source RPM installed).
