Correct.

Hard to say. It might be quite a simple one.

It's a single entry in /etc/rc.conf. It'll probably look something
like:
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.250.102 netmask 255.255.255.0"
Is this an ISA card? If so, check the output of dmesg to see that the
driver is looking at the correct I/O address (almost certainly the
case) and IRQ (possibly not).
Is this is a 10 Mb/s card with multiple physical interfaces (AUI, BNC
or UTP)? If so, make sure that you have the right one selected. See
ed(4) for further details.
When reporting this kind of problem, it's a good idea to give the
output of the ifconfig and netstat commands. For ifconfig, I'd expect
to see something like this:
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.250.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255
inet6 fe80::280:c6ff:fef9:a6c8%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:80:c6:f9:a6:c8
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback> none
How much you get depends on what kind of card this is. If it's a 10
Mb/s card, you won't have the last two lines. If this looks OK, take
a look at the output of netstat -r:
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default ? UGSc 41 1816 ed0
localhost localhost UH 2 40 lo0
192.168.250 link#1 UC 6 0 ed0 =>
If it doesn't look like that, please report.
