Take a look at the card's module documentation in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/<your card>.txt

From there you'll notice you can use either boot parameters or kernel
module parameters. For example, the tlan.o module and uses the following
to force full duplex and 10 Mb/s:
modprobe tlan speed=10 duplex=2

If I had it compiled into the kernel, you could pass it as a boot
parameter in lilo.conf with something like:
append="ether=11,1000,0x0C,0,eth0"

What card are you using?
