Here is how it probes:
de0 <Digital DC21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 11 on pci0:10
de0: SMC 8432BA DC21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0
de0: address 00:00:c0:fa:2c:f8
de0: enabling BNC/AUI port

Then after ifconfig de0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx link2 netmask 255.255.255.0:
de0: enabling BNC/AUI port
de0: enabling BNC/AUI port
de0: enabling BNC/AUI port

Then at regular intervals:
de0: transmission timeout
