    My understanding is 1 gig is auto negoitiate only, you cannot fix the
    speed.

    Don't know for sure but the mii-tool manpage and help suggest that it
    doesn't.

    usage: mii-tool [-VvRrwl] [-A media,... | -F media] [interface ...]
           -V, --version display version information
           -v, --verbose more verbose output
           -R, --reset reset MII to poweron state
           -r, --restart restart autonegotiation
           -w, --watch monitor for link status changes
           -l, --log with -w, write events to syslog
           -A, --advertise=media,... advertise only specified media
           -F, --force=media force specified media technology
    media: 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, 10baseT-HD,
           (to advertise both HD and FD) 100baseTx, 10baseT

    So I'm guessing mii-tool is 10/100.
