The 8216T (also known as the SMC EtherEZ) works best as in IO mapped
mode, not memory mapped mode. You can set this in DOS using the SMC
supplied "ezstart.exe" application.

in kernel add either or both of the following lines:

options         USERCONFIG              #boot -c editor
options         VISUAL_USERCONFIG       #visual boot -c editor

I have a libcompat (from a machine I manually installed newer releases
of FreeBSD, but never cleaned up the shared libraries. you can anonymous
ftp the gzip file from: ftp://joy.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu/pub/libcompat.so.2.0.gz
