Why do you want full duplex on a DSL connection? I tend to set any NIC's 
I use for a consumer connection to the lower end of their settings to 
avoid possible problems in any OS.

does it get mentioned in the logs for your other NIC?

the hardware is capable of it I belive, I do not know about the driver.
