Some switches require setting the link speed of a network adapter manually, whitout autonegotiation. This atricle affects not the module 8139cp.ko / 8139co.o
This is possible via "Config" > "Box" > "Network" > "Inerfaces" > "Physical Interfaces" or directly in the interface setting via "Config" > "Box" > "Network" > "Inerfaces" > "Network Interface Cards" as a driver module option.

Driver Options:
media=0x211 (10Base-T FULL)
media=0x231 100Base-T FULL)

media=0x21 (100Base-T HALF)
Examples:
To set the link speed of a single Realtek interface to 100 MBit Full Duplex supply the following driver parameter:
media=0x231
To set the link speed of one Realtek interface to 100 MBit Half Duplex and the other Realtek interface to 10 MBit Full Duplex supply the following driver parameters:
