Hello,
The card is detected irq 11 and ether 00:e0:29:00:cf:b7. and 100 is
enabled.

currently I'm using a Netgear en104 hub, that converts from 10base-T to
Thinnet COAX.   There is no link lite on the hub or the card.  so should I
configure for:

 network_interfaces="de0 lo0"
 ifconfig_de0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0" link1 link2 
 ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

or should I leave off the link2 because this hub doesn't do 100base-T.   
It doesn't do full duplex either, I believe  (though the other hub in
10/100 full duplex).

Thanks,
Pat
