Based on data I saw from Matt Thomas, the author of the DEC de driver,
"not at this time".  He appears to be looking into code which can
automagically reprobe the card for media type changes, etc.  Ask him
directly, or check the mailing list archives for a message in the last
few weeks asking for beta testers.
