That was just an example based on your failed attempt. The options are 
explained in Documentation/networking/vortex.txt in your kernel source 
tree.

Try either 0x200 or 0x202 for 10baseT-FD and 4 for 100baseTx-HD.
If you don't specify the option, it should not be passed to the 
driver; for example, when you have 3 network cards and only the first 
and third ones (eth1) should receive the options, you should specify 
something like:

ether=4,,0x202

(the option is missing, but the comma that separates it is present)
