	This is a 100mb/s card which uses the DEC 21140-AE chip.
	Freebsd sees this card as de0. However, in spite of
	every effort to make things happen on the wire with this card,
	I cant get any packets to transmit on  the wire. I hooked up a
	sniffer to the hub to monitor the packets comming
	from freebsd. Nothing!! I could see the packets comming from
	the solaris box (an old LX).
	The routes looked like this:

	127.0.0.1	127.0.0.1				lo0
	172.16.0.2	Link#1


	The card has the following config line in rc.conf:

 ifconfig_de0="inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 up"

	Because the systems are on a local area network, there is no
	default route, and no router (routed is not started). We use
	/etc/hosts (no nis). /etc/hosts.conf looks at hosts first.

	Issuing ifconfig de0 yields:

de0: flags=c011<UP,LINK1,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 172.16.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 


	Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
