I have an older HP Kayak XU workstation that I cannot get the ethernet  
working on. I have tried FreeBSD 4.9, 5.1, and 5.2. The device is 
recognized and configured under ifconfig, I can bring the interface up 
and down, change media options, etc. But, I don't get any 
communications over the interface. The dhcp client fails to get an 
address from the server and pinging reports the host is down. I have 
tried forcing it to 100BT and both full-duplex and half-duplex, with no 
luck.

Everything works fine under Windows 2000. The card is identified in 
Windows as an "HP ethernet with LAN remote power adapter". Looking at 
the controller chip on the card, it is labeled AM 79C971KC, 
PCnet/FAST+.

Any suggestions on how to make this work or how to get more diagnostic 
info?

Thanks,

Aaron Burghardt
