Well I think I typed it in wrong earlier. I had ifconfig_al0="DHCP" in rc.conf. I added your suggestion and I still am not getting a MAC address for this card. I ran the DOS diag on it and the MAC is 00:03:6D:15:C4:ED. For some reason, BSD is not getting this info. I think this may be why the card is not working. I did get this error a few times before adding the line for the loopback. Jun 8 21:07:39 scarlet /kernel: arp: 00:50:e4:80:28:2a is using my IP address 0.0.0.0! as well as Jun 8 21:48:12 scarlet /kernel: arp: 00:30:65:4c:1f:52 is using my IP address 0.0.0.0! I have no idea what these other MAC addresses are. I go from the ethernet card, to the cable modem. The cable modem may have a MAC but why would I get two different MAC's in these errors. Should I take back this NIC and get a different one? Any suggestions? I only paid 25$ for this one and would like to get it to work.
