    I have an older HP Kayak XU workstation that I cannot get the ethernet
    working on. I have tried FreeBSD 4.9, 5.1, and 5.2. The device is
    recognized and configured under ifconfig, I can bring the interface up
    and down, change media options, etc. But, I don't get any
    communications over the interface. The dhcp client fails to get an
    address from the server and pinging reports the host is down. I have
    tried forcing it to 100BT and both full-duplex and half-duplex, with no
    luck.

    Everything works fine under Windows 2000. The card is identified in
    Windows as an "HP ethernet with LAN remote power adapter". Looking at
    the controller chip on the card, it is labeled AM 79C971KC,
    PCnet/FAST+.

    Any suggestions on how to make this work or how to get more diagnostic
    info?

    Thanks,

    Aaron Burghardt
