Hello Everybody!

I'm trying to work with my FreeBSD-5.3 release in my LAN,
but i've found some networking-trouble.
I've got a "PCI CNet PRO200WL" Ethernet interface,
and it seems to bo well-configured.
This is the "ifconfig -a" output:

dc0: flags=108843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
      options=8<VLAN_MTU>
      inet 192.168.254.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.254.255
      inet6 fe80::208:a1ff:fe2a:1744%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
      ether 00:08:a1:2a:17:44
      media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
      status: active
plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
      inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
      inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
      inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

But when I try:

> ping <host_ip>
send to: host is down

I can't ping any host in my lan!!
At boot time, while system is probing interfaces,
this messagge is written (dc0 is my network interface):

dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state

Can anybody help me, please? ^_^

Thanks a lot Guys, this newsgroup is a really useful
tool for beginners! :-)
Thanks again.
ps: I'm sorry for my.. english!
