Subject:   3C905B-COMBO and 4.0-RELEASE not playing together

I installed 4.0-RELEASE over the Internet on a PCI machine using the
on-board NE2000 clone.  I have a 3C905B-COMBO in the machine as well.

Under 3.4-RELEASE, the card was known as XL1 and worked like a charm.  I
installed 4.0-RELEASE in the last week or so and the card is known as
XL0.  ifconfig -a shows the card with the correct static address.
According to the messages, the card is awake.

Highlights from ifconfig xl0:  flags=8843(up,
broadcast,running,simplex,multicast) mtu 1500 media: 10base2/BNC
(10baseT/UTP) status: active

I can ping the IP address assigned to the card without problem.  When I
try to ping another host on the 10base-2 network, I get 'ping: sendto:
host is down'.  If I try TCPDUMP, it gives me nothing.  The counts are
also zero when I terminate TCPDUMP.

From another machine, when I TCPDUMP the same segment at the same time,
I have activity captured.  When I ping the address assigned to the
3C905B-COMBO from another machine, I get 'ping: sendto: host is down'.

I've also tried tinkering with the card's configuration with the
Etherdisk with no luck.  The only other piece of information I can think
of that may be important is, I'm using DHCP (dhclient with an empty
.conf file) on the ed0 card (cablemodem network) and static addresses on
the xl0 (home LAN.)  the xl0 interface has dhcpd set up.  This machine's
role in life will be a gateway and dhcp server.  (Maybe some other
things later.)
Anybody know how I can get this card running under 4.0-RELEASE?
Cheers...
