My understanding is 1 gig is auto negoitiate only, you cannot fix the
speed.

Don't know for sure but the mii-tool manpage and help suggest that it
doesn't.
usage: mii-tool [-VvRrwl] [-A media,... | -F media] [interface ...]
-V, --version display version information
-v, --verbose more verbose output
-R, --reset reset MII to poweron state
-r, --restart restart autonegotiation
-w, --watch monitor for link status changes
-l, --log with -w, write events to syslog
-A, --advertise=media,... advertise only specified media
-F, --force=media force specified media technology
media: 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, 10baseT-HD,
(to advertise both HD and FD) 100baseTx, 10baseT
So I'm guessing mii-tool is 10/100.
