i have  just received a machine with a SMC ethernet card.  (no docs ;)
the ASIC is an SMC UltraChip 83C790QF P    B9403   6M72492-8

it is jumpered to irq 10, ioaddr 0x300, memaddr 0xCC000.

i have tried to use it to install 2.1.0-951104-SNAP with no success.

boot to the boot.flp with the "-cv' flags
use 'visual' to config ed0 to match settings listed above
		 (visual is GREAT, jordan.  good work!)
partition the disk:  100% FreeBSD
label the disk
select ftp site: "freefall.freebsd.org"
select distributions: "kern-developer"
select media: ftp,  set up the ip address, netmask, gateway, etc.
commit.

and it FAILS to resolve freefall.freebsd.org.

i have installed a 3c509 for now.  presently installing the 951104-SNAP.  

How can i get this card working?  
is it one of those plug-n-pray botches?
