I'm new to NetBSD so don't be surprised if/when I do or say something 
silly.

Is this the right place for this question, or should it be on current-users?  
Or has this been hashed over already?


I'm trying to get NetBSD up on a couple of Personal Workstations.  
I'm using current because that runs on Personal Workstations and 
the latest release doesn't. 

I've got the builtin Tulip/de0 connected via twisted pairs, half 
duplex, 10 megabit. 

If I tell ifconfig "media 10baseT", it doesn't work.  I'm not sure 
what is going wrong.  The light on the hub was on.  ping didn't work. 
If I say "media auto", I get packets through. 

But I also get a message on the console saying "de0: link down: cable 
problem?" every second or so. 

If I ping the NetBSD system from another machine the error message 
stops. 

Am I doing anything silly to cause this?

This machine has a second SCSI chain, an FDDI card, an ATM card, 
and a Gigabit Ethernet card.  No display.
