full-duplex Ethernet Interface

Dear Experts:

I have an old AlphaStation 600/266 which has a DEC TULIP (10Mbps)
Ethernet Interface (DECchip 21040: Revision: 2.3) and also another
machine with a card which is at Revision: 2.4). How can I know if
such a card is capable of full-duplex? Or should I assume that any
card which is not 10/100Mbps is also not capable of 10Mbps at
full-duplex? The newer (10/100) Ethernet Interfaces claim to be
auto negotiation capable devices. So should I presume that the
10Mbps is also not capable of auto negotiation?

Thanks in advance.
