Yes.

It depends on the chipset being used, and what options the driver will take 
via config vs being compiled in.  For example, according to the Red Hat 
site 
(http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/ref-guide/s1-modules-ethernet.html), 
you can put the following parameter in for the Ether Express 100 chip:

e100_speed_duplex=X

where if X =
0 = autodetect speed and duplex
1 = 10Mbps, half duplex
2 = 10Mbps, full duplex
3 = 100Mbps, half duplex
4 = 100Mbps, full duplex

I'm betting there's something similar for the chipset used in the Qubes. 
So, in /etc/modules.conf you'd put something like this:

	alias eth0 module_name
	options module_name option1=value1 option2=value2 ...

My RaQ /etc/modules.conf contains:

	alias eth0 eepro100
	alias eth1 eepro100

If this was the same for the Qube, under the

	alias eth0 eepro100

line you would put the parameters for it:

	options eepro100 duplex=half

*if* duplex=half was a valid option for the chipset.

No, sorry. I'm thinking you could hack something into phpBB etc., but I 
don't know for sure.
