I have recently learned about the media option for ifconfig. I tried starting a fixit console directly after the installer started and running: ifconfig ep0 media 10base2/BNC This worked fine and switched the connection. The problem is, this now causes the machine to _HANG_ if I try and change any settings. So I plugged it back into a hub. Nothing happens, no light on the hub yet a solid LED on the 3COM connector thing. I have a Gateway Solo and I'm fairly sure the PCMCIA card is supported because it probes the card fine, it just fails to work. I'll post a followup if I find out any more.
