Terri, I cannot comment on your 7% loss pinging localhost. That sounds seriously out of whack to me. Re: The 3C509-combo card: Your demesg output looks like the card was at least partially autoconfigure= d to be the second card in the box. (Based on the port at 210. The ethe= rdisk autoconfigure will select 300 if it is the only card.) It's also a combo card based on your demesg output. Your ifconfig -a look= s ok but I have to ask, are you using the RJ-45 interface or one of the o= thers? I have had to manually configure the interface for 10Base-2 befor= e. For some reason, autodetect seems to default to the RJ-45 even if my = 10Base-2 T fitting is plugged in. Suggestions: If this is the only LAN card in your box, get the current Etherdisk from 3C= om's web site (WWW.3com.com) and allow 3c5x9cfg to automatically configur= e the card. If you are using something other than the RJ-45 interface, c= hange the interface specification from autodetect to whatever you are usi= ng. You might want to consider specifying the interface even if autodete= ct appears to be guessing right. If this is not the only LAN card in your box, let 3c5x9cfg try to configure= your card but check for conflicts. When I do this, I have a hardcopy of= demsg to compare the tool's selections against. Again, watch out for the= selection of the physical lan interface plug that it is coming up with. If you have another FreeBSD box on the same wire, I'm assuming you are not = using a switched hub, having a TCPDUMP going at the same time you try to = ping can give you a clue if you are making it out onto the wire. I've had good luck with the 3Com cards at home and at work. They do have t= heir quirks though.
