The card is intitialized at boot with:

tlp0 at pci0 dev 13 function 0: DECchip 21041 Ethernet, pass 2.1
tlp0: interrupting at irq 23
tlp0: Ethernet address 00:80:19:44:3f:d9
tlp0: 10baseT, 10base2, 10baseT-FDX
tlp1 at pci0 dev 14 function 0: DECchip 21041 Ethernet, pass 2.1
tlp1: interrupting at irq 25
tlp1: Ethernet address 00:80:19:44:3f:b5
tlp1: 10baseT, 10base2, 10baseT-FDX

and ifconfig -a shows:

tlp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:80:19:44:3f:d9
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        status: active
        inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
tlp1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:80:19:44:3f:b5
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        status: no carrier

The other card is not hooked up to the hub yet. tlp0 is working but when
I ping it says 0 packets sent/0 packets received. Netstat -i gives:

Name  Mtu   Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts
Oerrs Colls
tlp0  1500  <Link>        00:80:19:44:3f:d9    21034     0    15281    
0     0
tlp0  1500  192.168       gib                  21034     0    15281    
0     0

Other than ping the interface works great.

cheers,
