My rc.conf file has it properly configured (ifconfig_ep0="inet myIPaddress netmask 255.255.255.0"), but I can only ping my host ip. The host is connected to another host via a hub, but the indicator lights on the hub are not lit. This, to me indicates that the network card is not configured correctly... I've read some BSD news articles that state that FreeBSD 2.2.7 does not support the 3C509b card, although the 3C509 is claimed to be supported. I am beginning to believe the product documentation is wrong.. But, what is the solution?? Is there a driver available?
