It also depends what you're connecting it to. If it's a network hub
(without the intelligence of a switch) it'll always default to
half-duplex. If it's connected to a switch (whether it be a level 2 or a
level 3 switch) it should default to full-duplex. At least that's how it
behaves with Solaris, and the limited experience I've had with
Debian/Sparc shows the same result.
