A minor detail - I think you *must* have autoneg set first - it applies them one after the other, in my experience.

ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg off speed 100 duplex full"

in this case though, it is gigE so dont use 100

it was used cause cisco typically should be hard set for speed and duplex so you never have to guess or worry

Errr, perhaps you mean because old cisco stuff didn't negotiate reliably? You always have to worry when you have hard set options because it won't work when someone changes the equipment at the other end.
