Try mii-tool:
[root@merlin src]# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
eth1: no autonegotiation, 10baseT-HD, link ok

You can also use mii-tool to set the speed/duplex settings of an
interface.

It's in the net-tools package at least under RH 7.3:
[root@merlin src]# which mii-tool
/sbin/mii-tool
[root@merlin src]# rpm -qf /sbin/mii-tool
net-tools-1.60-4

Don't you think that a signature as big as two third of the mail is
really ridiculous?
