ifup, nowadays.  ethtool is wrapped in there too.

Try adding <something like>

   ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

to your <something like> /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0
file.  "man ethtool" for more options.  If your driver is older, you
might need to cobble something together with the older mii-tool
utility.
