What shows up in dmesg for the card? What's the exact output of ifconfig
de0? How about ifconfig -m de0?

I have one of these cards which I've used fine under 1.3F (a predecessor
of 1.4), so I think the card is fine.

What could well be wrong is the media detection. It's on a 10 Mb net, not
a 100 Mb?

Take care,
