Harumph,

I just went out and bought a shiny new NE2000 compatible (read: cheap) to go
alongside the one in my FreeBSD gateway, and replace the 3Com 3c509 that had
been giving a bit of jip recently.  I rolled up a nice new kernel, changed
the startup stuff in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted -Aaaagh, complete spasms.
Ifconfig refused to add the IP addresses and various other scary problems
related to that.  Finally, I have ifconfig adding the IP's but still the
*naughty word-ing* thing is having problems.   Grrr, I'm not happy.

Note, this isn't a question.  I just wanted to vent a little frustration at
being a newbie and not being able to work out what is wrong!

Still, I guess this is the best way to learn, have something fall over and
have to get your hands dirty and fix it.
:(
