Hi,

I had the same problems. Now the card is working fine. Her is what I did :

I change the line in rc.conf:

ifconfig_sis0="inet 20.20.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="20.20.20.1"
sendmail_enable="NO"

Then I made a script that I put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the name card.sh

ifconfig sis0 inet 20.20.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX
route add default 20.20.20.1
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m

then reboot the computer and it should work

I disable sendmail in rc.conf, because the computer hangs a little time while booting.
Then I restart sendmail in my script.

I hope it will work for you as it does for me :-)
