Either you must force the card to a particular driver with the DOS-supplied software, or use the 'link' options to select one for you. You should be able to use one of 'ifconfig zp0 inet 1.2.3.4 -link0 link1' and/or 'ifconfig zp0 inet 1.2.3.4 link0 -link1' to switch between the difference transceivers.
