If its in half-duplex mode, its _very_ likely because its supposed to be.
Never-the-less, if you know better (do you really???), you can mii-tool to
force what capabilities it advertises to its link partner. Note that
mii-tool works only with NICs with a MII chip on them (10/100BaseTx
cards).
You might have to use the manufacturers DOS tool to change the setting on
older 10BaseT cards.
