John,

Try using an ifconfig of "ifconfig ep0 inet <ip address> aui". I was having 
what sounds like the same problem until I looked at the code and in one of
the comments found that using "aui" at the end of the ifconfig activates the
twisted pair port as well.  Once I did that, things seem to be working 
rather well.
