Well, after more troubleshooting I'm still stuck. This morning after turning my laptop on it got out to snort.org and even to one of the links on that page (to make sure it wasn't just cache), but at about 1.2Kbps. I can't ping my gateway, but if I reboot into Windows I can. I can get an SSH prompt for a password, but I time out after entering the passwd. My switch (Cisco 2924) has nothing concerning the laptop in its mac or arp tables (leaving me wondering how it gets *anywhere*). When I turn on ICMP debugging on the Cisco switch and then ping anything from the BSD box, I get nothing showing up on the cisco (yes, I did a "term mon"). What in the nine hells is going on with my BSD box? I'm leaning towards IRQ conflict but I can't remember how to troubleshoot that. Help?
