This error says there's something wrong with the ethernet card/driver.
Since it sounds like it's a Communications Slot card, the problem's
probably that we're not setting or clearing interrupts right.

Everything in the above files looks ok, assuming the netmask's supposed to
be fffffc00 (strange, but ok).

Except for your setting the "domain_name" in rc.conf. It's not documented
well, but that "domainname" is the NIS domain, not the DNS domain. So if
you're not using NIS (a.k.a. Yellow Pages), then you shouldn't set it.

This configuration error's not the real problem. Something's wrong with
the driver for that card.
