Here's that part of the driver documentation:
$ modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=0x08
e1000: 0000:00:00.0: e1000_validate_option: AutoNeg advertising 100/FD
99 /* Auto-negotiation Advertisement Override
100 *
101 * Valid Range: 0x01-0x0F, 0x20-0x2F (copper); 0x20 (fiber)
102 *
103 * The AutoNeg value is a bit mask describing which speed and duplex
104 * combinations should be advertised during auto-negotiation.
105 * The supported speed and duplex modes are listed below
106 *
107 * Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
108 * Speed (Mbps) N/A N/A 1000 N/A 100 100 10 10
