In order to make the card work in BSD you need to ifconfig the card in
RISC OS before booting BSD. This is because the driver does not do
something required to enable interrupts for the card. The ifconfig in
RISC OS makes sure this initialisation happens.

Well thats because there is no media support in the 1.4 driver I do have
some patches for that but need to fix a bug with 10baseT selection
before submitting them for inclusion.

At boot the driver prints the interface it is using.
