forcing happy meal link mode



All;

I'm having problems using DHCP with my cable modem. 
When I specify static IP settings the 'happy meal'
ethernet adapter in my Ultra1 fails to auto-negotiate
a link mode, then forces to 10Mbps and everything
works fine after that.  When I try 'dhcpcd' or 'pump'
, though, this initial failure at auto-negotiation
kills the daemon and my IP settings are not set.  Thus
I'm wondering how I can force the ethernet card's link
mode before running a DHCP daemon .  Looking in the
'ifconfig' man page and several Google searches have
revealed nothing useful.  Thanks in advance for any help.
