Yes, I should have read CHANGES.txt shouldn't I! It was the Ultra 
that mattered not the combo.

The card has options available via the setup programme it comes with
to select
	10BASE-T or BNC
	10BASE-T or AUI
	Twisted Pair - No Link Integrity
I have such a card set to '10BASE-T or BNC' and it auto-senses which
cable is active correctly.

For those of you wondering, the support for this card is available in
the current diskette set and the source changes are available for pick-up
by FTP. The card was not supported in the original distribution and is
only mentioned in the 'What We Use' document (sadly out of date, available
through the FAQ at http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/plan9/plan9faq.html) as a
card which is not supported.

Has anyone had any success with the SMC 16 bit WD8013 compatible 
cards with combo connectors? The card is set to BNC/TP and I'm 
connected via TP. I'm wondering if it needs to be told to TP, or 
whether it really does auto-sense?
