Auto Select Media Type

The Auto Select Media Type function is only implemented
by the drivers contained on the EtherDisk® diskette supplied
with the EtherLink III adapter.This includes NetWare ODI
drivers, NDIS 2.01 drivers, Windows for Workgroups drivers,
and Windows NT™ drivers for Intel® architecture. If you have
one of these drivers installed, as soon as you connect a
network cable to the system, the Auto Select Media Type
function will detect the type of cable making the
connection and automatically select that connection.
