3c503 PHYS selection (was: Self help)

Ignoring the rant, you seem to be asking how to select
the physical interface on a RJ45/BNC 3c503
ethernet card.

/boot/module-info says:

3c503
        eth
        "3Com EtherLink II"
        io "Base I/O address" "0x[0-9a-fA-F]+"
        irq "IRQ level" "[0-9]+"
        xcvr "Transceiver (0 = BNC; 1 = AUI)" "[01]"

which suggests that an entry in /etc/conf.modules of

options 3c503 xcvr=0

might do the job.  Otherwise, based on

http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c509.html

I'd hack the module-info file to allow

options 3c503 xcvr=4

and try it with a rescue disk handy.
