Some tulip boards in alpha systems don't autonegociate properly so the SRM
has a way of forcing them to a particular mode. A change was made recently
to respect the SRM setting instead of using autoneg. The variable is
typically called ewa0_mode. To find the right setting, type
>>>set ewa0_mode
from the SRM prompt and it will give you a list of settings. Choose one,
then type e.g.:
>>>set ewa0_mode Twisted-Pair
