I'm wrong it is Not working. 
	(I typed my own own card address of 192.168.x.x by mistake,
	not the 192.168.x.x of another host on net. )

Ive fiddled more with BIOS IRQ to no good effect

I was wondering if setting anything to polling might help a bit

I didnt understand question but after "man 4 polling" & eg
ifconfig xl0 192.168.100.64 polling
I dont see ifconfig -a showing polling

Still stuck not working, with 
	BSD showing: xl0 on irq10
	BIOS showing irq10 disabled
Changed bios irq10 to "Secondary" rebooted.
PC Manufacturer has no manual on line (to describe BIOS options)

Ideas & comments welcome !

Cheers,
Julian
