About the only symptom I can describe is that "ifconfig fxp0" reports "media: autoselect status: no carrier". If I use "media 100baseTX" with ifconfig, of course, it reports "media 100baseTX status: no carrier". The link light near the connector is on. I can see it flutter when I ifconfig/up or when I try to ping. Ping reports "sendto: Host is down". I have other Intel NICs in other hosts on the same hub. Their rc.conf entries have "media 100baseTX" on them. No trouble with them. Sorry, I'm used to things working. If there's other info I can provide let me know.
