"Ethernet 10base5" Oh WOW, thick wire ethernet, I didn't realize people
still have thick wire installs.

and from an ancient netbsd list posting it is possible to have either half
or full-duplex 10base5, though not neccesarily for the ep.

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2001/07/27/0014.html

passing the -m flag with ifconfig for ep0, "ifconfig -m ep0", will show
you the available mediaopts for the card.


-m 	If the -m flag is passed before an interface name, ifconfig will
	display all of the supported media for the specified interface.
