By using the DOS-based tool that you used to set it to coaxial :-)

The Scyld page that you mentioned exoplains this. IN /etc/modules.conf, 
you need something like:

options 3c59x 3

to select BNC.

switch to a different media type, then you shouldn't do it !
The EEPROM has a limited amount of writes and at some point you will not 
be able to write to it anymore.
