OK, maybe this means something. I dropped into the shell and tried to
configure the ethernet by hand.

I did:

ifconfig de1 inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

and this is what I got:

de1: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped

Hmmm. If I ifconfig -a after this I get:

de0: flags=8c22<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:80:19:44:3f:d9
        media: Ethernet autoselect
de1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:80:19:44:3f:b5
        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

So it looks like it's up and running but that previous message makes me
think that something fishy is going on.

Any ideas where I can go from here?

cheers,
