Did you try the `link1' option to ifconfig?
If you look at the installation doc for network interfaces (it's on the
boot floppy during the installation) it documents which connectors ("links") on
your ethernet card correspond to link0, link1, link2. I'll paste it in here
for reasons of brevity:
You can move through the fields with the TAB, BACK-TAB and RETURN
keys. To edit a field, use DELETE or BACKSPACE. You may also use ^A
(control-A) to go to the beginning of the line, ^E (control-E) to go
to the end, ^F (control-F) to go forward a character, ^B (control-B)
to go backward one character, ^D (control-D) to delete the character
under the cursor and ^K (control-K) to delete to the end of the line.
Basically, the standard EMACS motion sequences.
The ``Extra options to ifconfig'' is kind of special (read: a hack :-).
You can use it for specifying the foreign side of a PLIP or SLIP line
(simply type the foreign address in) as well as selecting a given
"link" on an ethernet card that has more than one (e.g. AUI, 10BT,
10B2, etc). The following links are recognised:
link0 - AUI * highest precedence
link1 - BNC
link2 - UTP * lowest precedence
Hope that helps..
