Gang,

Thanks for your help... I was able to get my NIC card configured.  It 
turns out that the device driver defaults to a BNC port configuration on 
system boot.  The Boot log file /var/run/dmesg.boot contains the 
following boot message, "ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*BNC*] address 
##:##:##:####:##". However, I have a UTP port.

I read the documentation on configuring for a UTP port (ie. man ep), but 
it was not clear to me.  The correct statement to configure is "ifconfig 
ep0 inet IP_address mask mask_address link2".  In /etc/rc.conf it would 
look like 'ifconfig_ep0="inet IP_address netmask mask_address link2"'.  
Unfortunately, I was placing a "media" clause in front of the "link2" 
parameter and that was not working.

Thanks a lot for your collaborative efforts...

Rick
