it's a NetBSD3-STABLE with patch for the Promise SATA300 HBA. ifconfig 
is not older than the build. (i made an iso for this one.)

i tried on both sides, on the switch and on the machine itself: same result.

today i put another fxp interface into the machine (into one of the two 
PCI slots; the is populated by the SATA card) and turned off the second 
serial port, thus freeing IRQ3. i pointed both onboard NICs to IRQ3 (as 
they do when set to autoconfigure, which i also tried) and tried to use 
the now as fxp2 known (pci) card.

interestingly, the handshake works and it has a link (Cisco 1924, 10MBit).

but it doesn't work: ping 192.9.50.99 (the machines' IP) goes into 
nowhere, pinging the default gateway dito.

i then tried setting the same IP (192.9.50.99) on another machine in the 
same subnet, which got recognized on the console!
