Try configuring during network startup, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX and add:

ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"

Then run:

service network restart

The ethtool settings will work, unless of course you are actually connected to a switch port or device set for 100 BaseT half.
