[PATCH] via-rhine: fix full-duplex with autoneg disable

[François Cachereul]

With some specific configuration (VT6105M on Soekris 5510 and depending
on the device at the other end), fragmented packets were not transmitted
when forcing 100 full-duplex with autoneg disable.

This fix now write full-duplex chips register when forcing full or
half-duplex not only when autoneg is enable.
