The ed driver currently doesn't do auto-negotiation correctly for
these cards, but if you are connected to a 100Mbits switch, the
card usually starts working after a few `device timeout' messages.

For 10Mbits/s and/or half-duplex connections, ifconfig can now do
what the fa_select program used to, e.g:

	ifconfig ed1 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
	ifconfig ed1 media 10baseT/UTP
	ifconfig ed1 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

You can put one of those commands in a file called /etc/start_if.ed1
to have it run automatically when you plug in the card.
