I've added support for software selection of the AUI or BNC connectors
for boards which can use it. This is done with the `link0' flag to
ifconfig(8). By default it will come up with the previous setting,
which will be the one set by EZSETUP in non-volatile memory after a
cold reset.
To select AUI:
ifconfig ed0 link0
To select BNC:
ifconfig ed0 -link0
As far as I know, UTP should work in either mode.
Also, I've changed the driver to enable and disable shared memory
access as appropriate on *all* boards. This probably isn't necessary,
but it shouldn't hurt.
As always, let me know if you have any problems.
