Thanks all for your help.

All the help I received was great.

The final problem was that my NIC was not supported and thus reported a
MAC of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. To add to the confusion, the card came with and
install disk that included a FreeBSD folder and two source files for the
FreeBSD 3.4 (my version). I did a diff on the files in my kernel and found
they were the same, so I thought it would work. Wrong!

I had a LinkSys NC100. The LinkSys LNE100TC was supported.

My first question from now on is: Show me where your hardware is listed in
the hardware compatibility list.

I fixed the problem by getting a 3Com 3CSOHO100-TX.
(If I got that card first, it would have saved me a couple of days
and some hair!)

Thanks again.
