I have a problem with the 3c503 ethernet card and 386bsd 0.1:
No-matter what I do, I can't get it to work. This is what happens:

[The steps below are all performed with all patches applied.]

1) The card is recognized by the probe function.

	ec0 address 02:60:8c:4d:ee:4f at 0x250 irq 9 on isa

   [I've even tried to move the card to interrupt 5 - but it didn't
    make any difference.]

2) I can use ifconfig to configure the ethernet address of the card

	ifconfig ec0 inet 130.227.32.11

   [I have removed the dreadful 'printf("ecinit");' from if_ec.c, so
    no messages here :->]

3) netstat -i hangs!

4) ping any.machine.in.domain doesn't get through - neither from this
   machine, nor to the machine.


The million dollar question now is: What happens here? What have I
done wrong? Somebody else must be using this card; what have you done?
