  Hell(o) everyone,
      I have just installed freebsd 3.3 on my Pentium class system.  I am
still using the generic kernal, although the rebuild is on its way...  I
have a newly supported (thanks guys) 3c905c-TX NIC.
      All of the networking seems to be working fine, with the exception of
one thing, and that it I cannot ping myself.  I get an ARPresolve failure.
I was thinking that there was a DNS problem, since I am using an external
server, but that wasn't it.  I checked ifconfig -a, and found that my 3c905c
is working in half-duplex mode.  Could this be the problem?

  Thanks in advance.
  Chuck
