Sorry, I forgot to tell that the machine was running fine with
a 3C509 ethernet card so I'm using the same routing configuration.
I only switched the cards and changed all instances of ep0 to de0
in /etc/sysconfig:
network_interfaces="de0 lo0"
ifconfig_de0="inet 77.2.16.107  netmask 255.0.0.0"

ifconfig de0:
de0: flags=c863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST>mtu 
1500
        inet 77.2.16.107 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 77.255.255.255
        ether 00:00:92:96:2a:7e 

After further investigation I found some interesting facts from netstat -in:

Name  Mtu   Network     Address            Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
de0   1500  <Link>00.00.92.96.2a.7e           20     0       59    39   570
de0   1500  77          77.2.16.107           20     0       59    39   570

I got these values after trying some pings from and to this machine.
