media: Ethernet 10base2
supported Ethernet media:
media 10baseT

media 10base2
>Description:
I have a machine with an old adapter. If has 10baseT and 10base2 media
available, but no autoselect. At boot it defaults to 10baseT, but
network is connected to 10base2.
While doing a 1.6 upgrade from ftp, in network setup doesn't let
me chose the media. After entering the last network parameters (DNS
and gateway), it display the network settings including media: 10baseT
and ask if it's OK. I never had a chance to select the media.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
workaround: from main sysinst menu, exit sysinst, type,
ifconfig tlp0 media 10base2, restart sysinst.
