Description
Customer has reported that his wanboot installs are not allowing him to configure
the interface speed or duplex mode:

{3} ok devalias net /pci@9,700000/network@2:speed=100,duplex=full
{3} ok devalias net
net                      /pci@9,700000/network@2:speed=100,duplex=full
{3} ok boot cdrom -o prompt -F wanboot - install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/ide@6/cdrom@0,0:f  File and args: -o prompt
-F wanboot - install
/pci@9,700000/network@2: 100 Mbps half duplex link up

In this case, wanboot was loaded from CD and then opened a network connection using the
interface identified by the net alias. It should honored the arguments provided by the
alias. Obviously, it didn't.
