hi ... i'm having problems hooking up my freebsd and linux
and the problem seems to be with my smc8432, dec 21041 card.
i am able to hookup my win95(same computer as freebsd) and linux
without any problems. Well after looking up through my files
(/etc/syconfig, /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf)
and asking for help in #freebsd irc channels, I was told there was
nothing wrong with them. However, i'm told by someone who has a
same dec 21041 smc card as me , that when it boots up, it's supposed
to show which network cable media is being initialised or used. This 
is not the case for me. All that appears are the following 2 lines :

de0: <Digital DC21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:0
de0: DC21041 [10MB/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:f3:f5:d5

my ifconfig de0 looks like this:

de0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST? mtu
1500
       inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
       ether 00:00:c0:f3:f5:d5

my netstat -nr looks like this:

Destinations	Gateway		Flags	Ref	Use	Netif Expire
default		192.168.1.1	UGSc	2	0	de0
127.0.0.1	127.0.0.1	UH	0	0	lo0
192.168.1	link#1		UC     	0	0
192.168.1.1	link#1		UHLW	3	0
