Ethernet MEDIA "manual" ?



Helo
            I have a simple question. I recently installed Open 3.3 in a computer. The ethernet card im using is an old NE2000 compatible (ISA). Its the only card that the machine has.

During the boot time, i can see the kernel detecting the card as "ne0". 
The strange thing is that is detectected as "media manual". This is the first time i see this, as the other machines where i installed OpenBSD, the ehternet cards where detected with things like "media autoselect" or just "media 10baseT".

I wonder if some one can tell my what thas it mean when this happen. Or if this could be just a problem on the ethernet card.
I can use other ethernet cards, but i just wanted to know what could be a possible reason of this media detection.

PD: The ethernet card works fine on other sistems, and i get a "ne0: time out" message when i try to use it in Open (3.3 release).

Thanks in advance!
