Yes, thats the first thing I tried.  I thought hardcoding the media
type in the driver was ugly/evil/inelegant too.  :-)

I rebooted my machine today, and running FreeBSD2.2-Current as of about
8-15-1996, "ifconfig de0 [numeric address] netmask 0xffffff00 link2"
will get the 10base2 to work.  But I have to actualy type it, putting
it in the ifconfig_de0 line in sysconfig will not work.  (Yes I did
see LINK2 in the flags during boot...)  So something is still odd.
