Here is a patch that have sent to Donald some months ago to implement 
changing the EEPROM media default with vortex-diag. It containes however 
only the code but not the user interface as that raised some problems that 
I didn't know how to solve: the *-diag family shares code and command line 
options and I didn't want to have vortex-diag diverge from the others (and 
probably Don wouldn't have accepted it anyway 8-)).
The patch also allows enabling/disabling of BootPROM, but that's something 
completely different. To do what you want, you need to have "set_ee_media" 
set to non-zero and "set_ee_media_auto" to 1. In order for the changes to 
be written to the EEPROM, vortex-diag must be run with the "-w" command 
line option, but it's probably better to run it first without it and it 
should report what changes it does.

This code is based on documentation that I have and by watching what 
3Com's DOS tool did to my card (which are not exactly equivalent!). As it 
did not receive large testing, I cannot guarantee that it works well, but 
all modifications that it does should be reversible by using the DOS tool.
However, if you choose to use it, a report (either good or bad) would be 
much appreciated.
