The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45,
BNC and AUI connectors. Supported media include:

The

link partner. If the AUI or BNC port is used, an explicit medium must be
specified to

or in your /etc/ifconfig.tl? file. The media option

can be used to switch the UTP port in full-duplex mode.

.Sh BUGS
The board marked as untested will always claim having an AUI connector, where
it may be a BNC one.
.Pp
The driver really should have a media autosensing function.

On AUI and BNC ports, false carrier loss may be detected on heavily-loaded
networks.
