Doesn't seem to work for me.

ewa0_mode was already set to Twisted-Pair.  Given what I was connecting
it to (a 10/half-only hub), that's the only mode that would work.  The
values listed by "set ewa0_mode fnord" are:
	Twisted-Pair
	Full Duplex, Twisted-Pair
	AUI
	BNC
	Fast
	FastFD (Full Duplex)
	Auto-Negotiate

I tried Auto-Negotiate and I tried setting it back to Twisted-Pair.
Didn't make any functional difference as far as I could tell.

Tomorrow I hope to get a PCI ethernet dug out and put in it...if I can
find one that doesn't give SRM fits.  (I tried a fiber card I had
handy, but I got PCI-related machine checks before even starting to
boot.  Admittedly, the card could be broken for all I know - I have
two, and put the other in a nearby machine, but didn't try swapping
them to see if one was busted.  It's totally possible I have other
network cards that won't upset SRM....)
