The text description of the driver options in the kernel's tulip_core.c
are as follows:
/* The possible media types that can be set in options[] are: */
const char * const medianame[32] = {
"10baseT", "10base2", "AUI", "100baseTx",
"10baseT-FDX", "100baseTx-FDX", "100baseT4", "100baseFx",
"100baseFx-FDX", "MII 10baseT", "MII 10baseT-FDX", "MII",
"10baseT(forced)", "MII 100baseTx", "MII 100baseTx-FDX", "MII 100baseT4",
"MII 100baseFx-HDX", "MII 100baseFx-FDX", "Home-PNA 1Mbps", "Invalid-19",
"","","","", "","","","", "","","","Transceiver reset",
};
So to specify 10baseT, you would pass "options=0" as an argument to
insmod; "options=1" for 10base2; etc. However, please note that there
are other outstanding issues with many tulip chips under recent alpha
kernels, so depending on the chip you have, even passing the module
arguments may not solve your problem here.
