    If you really need an ugly hack, here's one possibility:

    Set up a new service (use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a template) where you
    define the required services that need to be started. Something like

    -------/etc/init.d/netduplex-------------
    ### BEGIN INIT INFO
    # Provides: netduplex
    # Required-Start: $network
    # Default-Start: 3 5
    # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
    # Short-Description: Set full duplex connection
    # Description: Set full duplex connection after initialization
    ### END INIT INFO

    ethtool -s eth1 autoneg off duplex full
    -------/etc/init.d/netduplex-------------

    chkconfig netduplex on

    There you are, a quick and definitely ugly hack!!
