The 2.2.6 is the GENERIC kernel.
>Description:
If i use autodetect in rc.conf it says there is a cable problem if i
use BNC. AUI is detectet ok.
The card works OK at BNC in W95 and NT4.0.
When I try to use the BNC connection the following messeages came:
# ifconfig de0 media bnc
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured
If I try AUI it works properly.
# ifconfig de0 media aui
# ifconfig -a
