         /*
          * S.B.
          *
          * Now behavior was slightly changed:
          *
          * if any of flags link[0-2] is used and its connector is
          * physically present the following connectors are used:
          *
          *   link0 - AUI * highest precedence
          *   link1 - BNC
          *   link2 - UTP * lowest precedence
          *
          * If none of them is specified then
          * connector specified in the EEPROM is used
          * (if present on card or AUI if not).
          *
          */

S.B. is, I believe, Serge Bakin.  He provided the latest changes to 
the if_ep.c code.

You might want to use the link1 flag with ifconfig.
