Tinker with  mii-tool.
Specifically 
	     
 mii-too  --advertise=media interface

 media can be one of: 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD,100baseTx-HD,
 10baseT-FD, and 10baseT-HD.

What you should see is the link light go dark for a blink then a new
physical layer connection is made.  It could be that the negotiation
is not good and kicking it again might link up ....  I am finding that
FD is hard for many inexpensive cards, switches and drivers.
