Hi,
It fixes the idle timeout messages (which is not an issue on PNIC) and sets the speed to 10BaseTX, since autonegociation is broken on PNIC.

I had a dc with timeout messages during boot and trouble getting it to
then work. I think?? I had to fix it with a hostname.dc0 config and it
worked for over a year, but after a reinstall, I had lost track of what
I had done previously to fix it and so just swapped the nic. dc seems
to get some praise in the man page too.
