Have you tried using the "link1" option in ifconfig ?
If you have, and it doesn't work, check for the following code in your
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_zp.c file:
if (!(ifp->if_flags & IFF_LINK0) && (sc->ep_connectors & BNC)) {
GO_WINDOW(0);
/* set the xcvr */
outw(BASE + EP_W0_ADDRESS_CFG, 3 << 14);
GO_WINDOW(2);
outw(BASE + EP_COMMAND, START_TRANSCEIVER);
GO_WINDOW(1);
If it just does the EP_COMMAND bit, try adding the above instructions.
