full_duplex flags but not all (from tulip_core.c):

   MODULE_PARM(options, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");
   MODULE_PARM(full_duplex, "1-" __MODULE_STRING(MAX_UNITS) "i");

Again from the source I guess that options=0 sets the media type to
10BaseT, but maybe you'll need options=12 to forcefully set it (again
from tulip_core.c):

   /*  The possible media types that can be set in options[] are: */
   const char * const medianame[32] = {
        "10baseT", "10base2", "AUI", "100baseTx",
        "10baseT-FDX", "100baseTx-FDX", "100baseT4", "100baseFx",
        "100baseFx-FDX", "MII 10baseT", "MII 10baseT-FDX", "MII",
        "10baseT(forced)", ....

So, I would give it a try.  But then, I'm not much of a c-man and I'm
known to lead man astray, so be warned!
