I'm afraid somehow I've caused the card to get into a non-functional state. Tried switching ports on my switch, unplugging, ifconfig down/up changed from 10/100 and back. I'm hoping that powering it down and leaving it all day without network cable will let it reset. Dunno. What I'm worried about is those cards are hard to find, and what other cards does FBSD support in the Alpha 4100, if this card is toast?
