It would be 10base2, but the tag is only actually used by the pcmcia
stuff.  I don't know how to do it with non-pcmcia that don't auto-detect-
most of them auto-detect.  You could try either using the "ifport" program
(which is what pcmcia uses with the 10base2 parameter), I think the syntax
is "ifport eth0 10base2". -Tom
