Can't get 100/full duplex with bcm5700...

Hi...

 I'm running RH AS 2.1 on a DELL 2650 with bcm5700 driver.  On boot
(w./out any module config), I get the following in /var/log/messages:

May 22 17:08:58 systemname kernel: bcm5700: eth0 NIC Link is UP, 100 Mbps half duplex

 The switch port on the other end is set to 100MB Full duplex.

 I put the following in /etc/modules.conf and rebooted.  Doing that causes
the card to not come up at all (i.e. eth0: link is down).

alias eth0 bcm5700
options eth0 line_speed=100 full_duplex=1
 
 Is there something I'm missing?  Thanks....
