I believe it's by turning off the options you don't want available...

adv_autoneg_cap               (read and write)
adv_100T4_cap                 (read and write)
adv_100fdx_cap                (read and write)
adv_100hdx_cap                (read and write)
adv_10fdx_cap                 (read and write)
adv_10hdx_cap                 (read and write)

If you turn off autoneg and turn off all but adv_100fdx_cap for example,
it will only tell the other end that it can do 100mbps full duplex.
Assuming the other end (another host, hub, swtich) supports that, it
should go into that mode. At least that's what comes to mind... hope it's
right.
