Sean, do a dmesg and clip the lines relating to your ethernet card's
configuration (sn0). It probably configured fine, but may not have.
(It should look like "sn0 at obio0...")

Also, what do you see when you do ifconfig sn0? How 'bout route? You
may have to add the default route by hand (at least until you get
things set up). That's "route add default <IP of default route>".
