In my opinion automatic duplex detection ALWAYS fails to work.
Force your switch and force the eepro to your desired settings.
Consult http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html for the
settings. Here is a summary:
Hex Decimal Meaning
0x10 16 Force Full-Duplex operation (must be used with 0x20 or
0x40)
0x20 32 Force 100mbps-only operation
0x40 64 Force 10mbps-only
EXAMPLE: for Full-Duplex 100mbs with only one ehternet card you'd use the
following options:
insmod eepro100 options=0x30 multicast_filter_limit=3
