What does the ifconfig(8) output actually look like? What does ping(8) actually do when it fails? What happens if you turn on tcpdump(8) on the interface? See anything out there? I have an ex0 card that's been a bit... odd under 4.0. Sometimes it seems to "fall asleep" after boot. I can't ping out or in or otherwise use the network. However, if I turn on tcpdump, that seems to wake things up and it all goes just fine (even after tcpdump is turned back off). Also, if I start throwing pings at it while it boots, it's never fallen asleep, but I haven't done that enough times to have a good statistical sample. -- Crist J.
