Here are the ifconfig results:

ed1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:e0:98:87:c7:a7
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
        status: active
ep0: flags=a843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK1,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast XX.XX.XX.XX
        inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fe8f:d592%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
        atalk 65280.127 range 0-65534 phase 2 broadcast 0.255
        inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast XX.XX.XX.XX
        ether 00:60:97:8f:d5:92
        media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP

So both of these should work, right?
