you should be able to add a line to

ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 10 duplex half autoneg off"

and the change will take place at boot up, or anytime you restart the
interface.
That's _exactly_ the answer for which I was looking. Unfortunately,
it begs a couple of other questions...

1) How did you know that?
2) How could I have known that?
:-)

3) If I add my own text to ifcfg-eth0, will the network configuration
GUI deal with it properly?

--wpd

unfortunately, the gui doesn't incorporate ethtool options. i don't
remember how i found that; though it was a long time ago when i was
having trouble with my broadcom gigabit controller. i think it was just
lots-o-searching.
