YaST and full duplex Ethernet

I have a machine that used to run FreeBSD and is now running SuSE 9.1. It has a on-board Gigabit Ethernet NIC. In FreeBSD, the NIC can be configured completely via ifconfig. I'm a bit new to SuSE and the Linux way of things, but it seems that Linux ifconfig is extremely limited and that mii-tool (from the net-tools package) must be installed to do the job. So far, after an hour of searching, it seems like the correct way to configure the NIC is: shell> mii-tool -F 1000baseTx-FD eth0 My question: how do I configure YaST to make SuSE boot with this setting? Thanks in advance. BTW, please don't reply saying that auto-negotiation is the way to go. That only slows things down.
