The 2.2.6 is the GENERIC kernel.
>Description:
If i use autodetect in rc.conf it says there is a cable problem if i
use BNC. AUI is detectet ok.
The card works OK at BNC in W95 and NT4.0.

When I try to use the BNC connection the following messeages came:

# ifconfig de0 media bnc
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured

If I try AUI it works properly.
# ifconfig de0 media aui
# ifconfig -a

 Have a look at kern/6422. There is my solution to solve this.
 I am sure it applies to your card also... Don't ask me why
 it hasn't found it's way into -stable yet.
