If a NIC is set for a specific media with the included DOS-based 
install disk, does NetBSD reset the media to some arbitrary value?

Of course, this is moot when the NIC is installed in a non-wintel
system and a DOS box is not available.

I'll try a test this weekend as I am curious. I have a 1.2 system with
a Linksys NE2000 clone combo card. It's on thinnet now, but I'll switch
it over to 10bt and plug it into a hub, after resetting the media with
the install disk.
