Hi Dmitry (and current),

In the end I succeeded without further obstacles, not even a single ftp
timeout :-) although downloading seemed to go faster than actually
extracting to disk.

fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> rev 0x01 int a irq 16 on pci0.12.0

I also installed a box with an on-board 82558 (the above is an 82557
chipset), no trouble there either - as long as it's connected. :)

I used IP addresses everywhere in the network configuration, except when
selecting the ftp site where to retrieve the distribution from.  The name
server I use is on the same physical subnet, but I've seen it work with it
on another physical subnet (so packets had to go via the default gateway)...
