Probably done by adding an option to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.
I think the option might be driver dependant as to whether it will support it.
man ifconfig:
media type
Set the physical port or medium type to be used by
the device. Not all devices can change this set-
ting, and those that can vary in what values they
support. Typical values for type are 10base2 (thin
Ethernet), 10baseT (twisted-pair 10Mbps Ethernet),
AUI (external transceiver) and so on. The special
medium type of auto can be used to tell the driver
to auto-sense the media. Again, not all drivers
can do this.
