man ifconfig 

      media type
              Set  the  physical port or medium type to be used by the device.
              Not all devices can change this setting, and those that can vary
              in  what  values  they  support.   Typical  values  for type are
              10base2 (thin Ethernet), 10baseT (twisted-pair 10Mbps Ethernet),
              AUI  (external  transceiver) and so on.  The special medium type
              of auto can be used to tell the driver to auto-sense the  media.
              Again, not all drivers can do this.
