I have been trying to bring up a local network at home using an Intel
Etherexpress II Pro/10 card as ex0.  It comes up using the TPE port
(twisted pair) and I would like to switch it to the BNC port.  The board
is supposed to autosense, but did not seem to, correctly.

Ifconfig gives me an incantation error using ``media 10base2/BNC''
and ``link2'' does not seem to do it either, because it comes back on
the next reboot with twisted pair, again.

The Intel setup program says the card is working OK.

Can anyone suggest the correct incantation of ifconfig to bring it up
on the  BNC coax port, or is there a different/better/optimal way to do it?

What would be the three incantations to bring it up on any of the 3 ports?

Thanks
