Very few things would autoneg with them, so I hardcoded everything to 100Mb/full duplex in the SRM console on all the old machines. Since FreeBSD obeys the SRM console's duplex settings for tulip nics, it may have that setting hardcoded as well & be refusing to autosense 10Mb with your 10Mb hub. Try setting the ewa1_mode to "auto". (its probably at FastFD now). If that doesn't work, back it down to 10mb (I think its called "twisted").
