I have an SMC ethernet board (WD8013EPC) with thick, thin, and utp connectors.
Does anyone have a program that will allow me to dynamically switch it from
thin to utp without rebooting FreeBSD?  I have a DOS program, ezsetup,
that does this, but I don't want to be bringing the system down every time
I do this.
