i am having trouble getting the card to work properly.

right now i have the following statements in /etc/sysconfig:

infconfig_de0="inet 144.118.245.10 link2 netmask 255.255.252.0"

deflaultrouter="144.118.244.254"

the machine is on the ip network 144.118.244/22 (ie subnet 255.255.252.0)

upon booting the folling messages related to de0 appear on the console:

"enabling BNC/AUI" - even though i have stated link2

and then

"de0: transmission timeout"


The system is a 200 MHz P6 with the SMC EtherPower 10/100 (SMC9332BDT)
which has the DEC 21140 controller.
I am running the 2.2 beta of FreeBSD.

Thanks for any help.
