just a note in case anyone else might have a problem like mine with the 
3c509-combo.  i couldn't get anything to work until i realized that, 
despite the card/driver's pretensions to an "autoselect" feature, 
freebsd thought i wanted to use the BNC interface instead of 10BaseT ...
the fix was to use the DOS config program to set the card to 10BaseT 
instead of automatic.
