>Description:
I have a 3Com 3c905 PCI 10/100 card with a single UTP port. If I
do not give a media type then ifconfig works but, even though the
hardware indicates 10BaseT, the driver is set for 100baseTX. If
I put media type 10BaseT/UTP it says "Device not configured."
>How-To-Repeat:
Install said card and enter the following line:
ifconfig <ip address> <netmask> media 10BaseT/UTP"
>Fix:
Needs some sort of ifmedia_change function in the driver
