Network module options in Debian Sarge

[Federico Petronio <petrus@activesec.biz>]

Hello, I write to you because after lot of trying I could not found a
solution for this:

I need to force 3 NICs (3Com 905C) to use "100baseTx-FD" mode, and I
found that the correct way to do this (if I use mii-tools it does not
work Ok) is using modules options (i.e.
	modprobe 3c59x options=0x204,0x204,0x204
)

That works fine, but I could not figure out how to set this for the next
time the system startup. I try setting it in /etc/modutils/3c59x, I also
tried setting it in modules.conf but with no good results. As far as I
see, the modules are load previously in the boot process and the options
I set are not taken in care (is this possible? am I right or I am doing
something wrong?).

I would like to know what and in what order Debian does when booting,
and where is the right plate to set these modules options. Also
information about configuring NIC modules in Sarge could be helpful.

I use Debian Sarge 3.1.

Thanks a lot...
