    Jay, please don't top post.

    A much cleaner and supported method is to edit the ifcfg script

    [root@scsftp pub]# grep ETHTOOL
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
    ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

    You'll find this is called by /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
    You will, of course, need ethtool installed.
