what you are looking for is
"ifport eth0 100baseT"
should sort you out. I have the same problem with my xircom card :(
However thats all in the past with my new flashy Netgear card :) YAY!
Probably best to put this hardcoded into your /etc/pcmcia/network
settings. Although not the best approach it will do :)
I hope this has answered you problems
