Probably you have this set as default in the EEPROM on the card. You could 
use the DOS-based utility from 3Com to change it to the media that you are 
actually using. Another thing that should work would be to force media 
type by adding some parameters on the kernel command line, see:

and/or 

Documentation/networking/vortex.txt in the kernel source tree.
