George,
When I code a static IP address (with and without the media parm) I have
the same problem.
The machine acts like the card will not activate (at all) until I run an
"ifconfig" or "ifconfig bge0" against it. That is when I get the
message that the gigabit interface is running.
When I ordered the card, I didn't notice it was OEM. So I didn't get
DOC or an Etherdisk. I downloaded the manual and the Ethercd but I'm a
little confused (maybe.)
Every other 3Com card I have had, I ran the Etherdisk configuration
utility against when I installed the hardware. The tools only appear to
run under windows.
Did you have to take any configuration actions when you installed your
cards?
Thanks...
