Yes.

I don't have the box with it running on handy, but I think you need to
add -link0 to the ifconfig command line to get it to select the BNC
connector.

Again, this assumes -current or -stable and *NOT* 2.0.5 since the patch
to get it to work was added after 2.0.5 was released.

The best solution would be to get it to auto-select, but I don't know
how to do that. :(
