I've tried all possible combinations with media and mediaopts, and I get
nothing. When I try to set half-duplex it doesn't work at all.

I didn't mentioned before that under FreeBSD 4.10 everything worked
fine.

I found also some interesting (but not clear for me) behaviour of ping:

$ ping 213.25.86.88
[cut few lines]
64 bytes from 213.25.86.88: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.311 ms

I'm not local network, my IP is 192.168.3.13, 192.168.3.1 is my
gateway.
