i had a somewhat different problem, i just got a micron laptop with a
3com etherlinkIII, pci card.  i could see it xmitting packets (arp,
icmp, etc.) and i could (on another machine), see the packets
responded to.  however, the laptop would act as though it saw nothing
except for a rare occasion.  tcpdump would intermittenlty, dump out a
gob of packets (mostly mcast or bcast).

it turned out the built in sound card had an interupt conflict irq5
with the pci bus (i think this was the problem).  anyway, i finally
configured the soundcard to use irq10 and rebuilt the freebsd kernel
with this new irq value, i took a hint from the boot process that
recognized the sound card when probing (the standard snd sb
compatible) card when, but would report the sound card was not
configured due to a conflict.  


that did it, i guess the sound card was left as a rougue interupt
thief.  configuring it, put it in it's place :)

this may not be your problem, but may be worth considering.
