For what it's worth,

Driver is requested NOT to auto-select media.
The external 10 Mbps AUI (DIX 15-pin) connector is selected (100000)
The RAM is split 4K xmit/4K rcv (20000)
Fast 8K RAM (the only kind) (10)

This is a 10 Mbps "combo"; the three transceivers are present.
The TP-only card reads 0xe108.

Nothing happening here.  Link Beat Enable is always true when AUI
is selected.

RxComplete (10); there is a complete received frame waiting to be unloaded.
InterruptLatch(1); the adapter is asserting is PCI interrupt line because
of the RxComplete not yet being acknowledged.

I don't know what the "Disabling functions (78ee)" means.
