You use the lanadmin command:

To view the current LAN setting:lanadmin -x 0

(where 0 is the card's instance or PPA number, found with lanscan).

To change the card setting without a reboot, use:

# lanadmin -X 100FD 0

To make the change permanent you need to edit the appropriate config file, probably /etc/rc.config.d/hpgelanconf or /etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf.

In the lanadmin command PPA # comes last.
Try
lanadmin -X 100FD 1

However, I should add that HP recommends leaving it set at auto.

As Pete said, using lanamin -x (ppa) is the quickies way. you can also use the SAM utility to make the change on the Lan card.
