Best to use ethtool imho, mii-tool is a bit old skool and more modern 
network interfaces often won't respond to it. The converse may of course 
be true if you use ancient hardware :D

Adding an 'up' command into /etc/network/interfaces is usually what's 
required when autoneg fails; e.g.

iface eth0 inet static
   address 1.2.3.4
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   up ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
