The EtherEZ is known working with FreeBSD. The problem you've described sounds very much like either the irq isn't configured correctly in the kernel, or the media type isn't selcted properly (isn't there a soft config program that came with the card to set this??). You might try setting the irq to -1 in 'userconfig' (-c at boot). This will tell the driver to attempt to use the irq setting it discovers from the card. Sorry I can't be more help at the moment; I hope these clues are useful. -DG
