I tested following modes, which all worked:

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave forced-master
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave preferred-master
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave preferred-slave
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave forced-slave

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave forced-master speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave preferred-master speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave preferred-slave	speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on master-slave forced-slave speed 100

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave forced-master speed 1000
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave preferred-master speed 1000
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave preferred-slave speed 1000
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave forced-slave speed 1000

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave forced-master speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave preferred-master speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave preferred-slave speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off master-slave forced-slave speed 100

Without setting the master-slave option it didn't work. I think its
mandatory.
