Pretty much the same as what I get on my FA310:
tlp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:a0:cc:66:25:8a
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
        status: active
        inet 10.30.64.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.30.64.255
        inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe66:258a%tlp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

I note one difference, my interface is set to up, yours isn't.  Is your media 
set correctly?   IE you are on a 10BaseT connection to that machine.  I 
assume the netmask is correct etc.

When you ping the machine what does the pinger show in it's routing 
tables?  eg when I ping another machine I get an entry (from netstat -rn):
10.30.64.40        00:40:05:a2:69:85  UHLc        0        4      -  tlp0

Is the arp address correct?

Certainly the FA310 card works in NetBSD (original install was of 1.5.0 on 
this machine, it now runs -current)

Cheers,
Chris
