Most of the time the ethernet card can detect full duplex vs half duplex
on the fly. You only need to fuss with the nic driver if the switch
you're using can't autodetect properly (cisco switches, for example).

It is dependant on the nic you're using - some can do full duplex, some
can't.
It also depends on the switch/hub that's on the other end of the ethernet
cable :)
