NetBSD will be solving the media selection problem shortly by
adding BSD/OS-style if_media.[ch] to the network code.  Jonathan
Stone and I wrote this based on information provided by Matt.

I plan on committing it to NetBSD-current in few days.  If someone
from the FreeBSD camp would like to get in touch with me about it,
I'll be happy to help them integrate it into FreeBSD.
