Bryan asks:

I am currently tasked to produce a FAQ-like document on configuring
ethernet interfaces for 10/100 Mbit and full/half duplex modes...

Then I got to the ec interface on the O2. Is there a way to force
this interface into a desired mode?

...

Yves replies:

There is a nvram parameter "ec0mode": The possible values are:

"" (nothing) Autonegociation
"f100" FullDuplex 100 Mb/s
"h100" HalfDuplex 100 Mb/s
"f10" FullDuplex 10 Mb/s
"h10" HalfDuplex 10 Mb/s

You have to set it in the EPROM screen with the command:
setenv -p ec0mode f100.
