Well, I took the FA311 out of the NetBSD box and put it into a Dell machine,
installed the driver and it works perfectly well there.  I ran ipconfig /all
and found the MAC number matches the value below, so that wasn't the issue.
I took the Ethernet card from the Dell and put it in to the NetBSD box and
it uses the tlp driver.  At first I had a similar problem with no network
access, then I changed the IP number for the ifconfig.tlp0 to a different
number than before and that magically fixed the problem!!  I suppose I
should swap the FA311 card back again to test, but its working now so I
shouldn't break it again!

Bottom line, swapping cards/drivers and keeping the same IP number causes
some problem somewhere.  Better informed people should test that out.

Thanks,
Jeff
