RH 9 offers /sbin/ifup-local as a place to put such things. 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post checks for an executable 
/sbin/ifup-local and runs it with the device name as an argument if it 
exists.  You could do:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
   eth0)
	/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
	;;
esac

to force your settings immediately after the regular ifup scripts bring 
up the interface.
