No, you don't want to do that.  You want to use autonegotiation
instead.

Please read the related FAQs (and for example the wikipedia article
about autonegotiation and why you run into a lot of problems when not
trying to force specific modes, especially when doing so on one side
of the link only).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

 The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
