Gang, Thanks for your help... I was able to get my NIC card configured. It turns out that the device driver defaults to a BNC port configuration on system boot. The Boot log file /var/run/dmesg.boot contains the following boot message, "ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*BNC*] address ##:##:##:####:##". However, I have a UTP port. I read the documentation on configuring for a UTP port (ie. man ep), but it was not clear to me. The correct statement to configure is "ifconfig ep0 inet IP_address mask mask_address link2". In /etc/rc.conf it would look like 'ifconfig_ep0="inet IP_address netmask mask_address link2"'. Unfortunately, I was placing a "media" clause in front of the "link2" parameter and that was not working. Thanks a lot for your collaborative efforts...
