Well this is interesting. Tried eth_set in Gaia R77.20 and always comes up with error eth_set: line xx: config: command not found. It could be bug.
In expert mode “ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg on” went OK without error.
Tried this on SPLAT R76 and worked like a charm.
Usage: eth_set (interface) (speed)
eth_set eth0 10f (where eth0 is interface you are configuring and 10f is speed 10Mbps f-full duplex)
Options for speed are listed after this command what is your network card capable of.
Looks like: NIC reported speed/duplex capabilities: 10h, 100h, 10f, 100f,1000f,autoneg

Not to confuse anyone:
eth_set is checkpoint’s command so above is correct
ethtool is linux command.
