I'm having trouble getting ethernet up on my 386DX-25
system.  I have 386BSD installed on my hard disk and
I get a message:

we0 ethernet address 00:00:c0:c4:fe:18 at 0x280 irq 9 on isa

in the startup sequence.  When I run ifconfig to initialize the
board as such:

ifconfig we0 137.202.171.104

I start getting messages echoed back at the console that say:

reject 65531

these messages just continue popping up until I disable the card with:

ifconfig we0 down

I know the board work as I use it all the time under DOS with PC/TCP
and NCSA Telnet.  I have verified that the hardware settings are IRQ 2
(aka IRQ 9), ADDR 0xD000, and IOADDR 0x280.

Thanks.
