I have a Centris 650 that has the same problem. Occasionally I get
"FIFO Overrun" or the like, but aside from slow transfer speeds files
don't get corrupted. Try to "ftp ftp.netbsd.org" from the image to see
if it works instead of using ping. Also see if you can ping the mac
from another computer, that works for me.
