The card is an SMC EtherPower 10/100, (9332), which Walnut Creek
informs me IS supported by FreeBSD, so that shouldn't be the problem. 
And while i havn't tested the card itself, this problem has occurred in
both FreeBSD machines I'm trying to set up.
	I'm guessing there's just some configuration or conflict i should be
aware of...
