Well, I looked at the man page for ifconfig, not much there about link options,
matter of fact, this was all there was:
link[0-2]
Enable special processing of the link level of the interface.
These three options are interface specific in actual effect, how-
ever, they are in general used to select special modes of opera-
tion. An example of this is to enable SLIP compression, or to se-
lect the connector type for some Ethernet cards. Refer to the
man page for the specific driver for more information.
-link[0-2]
Disable special processing at the link level with the specified
interface.
Not sure what I am looking for........
