It is very weird, I don't know how anyone gets this to work out of the box, but for us to get networking to work on any NIC, we had to (not sure all of these were necessary): ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 (don't know why this isn't there already, but nothing worked until we did this) route add 127.0.0 127.0.0.1 (add routing for localhost net to localhost) We also tried the following which may have helped: ifconfig ep0 link0 and link1 - this may be 3com cards only route add default my_ip_address (not the normal gateway) - shouldn't need this, but you might try it I hope this helps others who may have networking problems upon install.
