Don't do that. It may be the cause of your problem -- in any case,
it's incorrect. Leave the system without a gateway if you don't have
one.
I tried once without setting a gateway also. It did not make a
difference. I should have mentioned that.

If you did it via sysinstall, then it was written to rc.conf.

I came across this post. Seems like there is a problem with the
drivers for this particular device.

The poster here seems to have had a similar ethernet card as I do. May
be I should try swapping the ethernet cards of the FC2 and FreeBSD
boxes. I am sure the FC2 box has a different network card.
Cheers,
Andy
