>Description:

On the Trust ne2000 ISA combo cards based on the RTL8019, the media type is
not selectable with ifconfig ... `ifconfig -m ne1' shows that the card is
capable of 10base2, 10baseT, 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex and autoselect.

When issueing `ifconfig ne1 10baseT' it refuses to go to half duplex and gives
a `ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Invalid argument' ... other media types give the
same ioctl error.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Use a ne2000 card with autoselect that fails.

	
>Fix:
not known.... where are the ioctl's handled? are there even ioctl handled?
