Sorry for the delayed reply.  No, I didn't set any media whatsoever.
I have a 10/100 hub that the card, which is supposed to be able to detect
what media to use, is plugged into.  The hub has 10 and 100 Mb 
cards connected to it, all working at half duplex.  
When pinging local hosts, I got times like 5-10 ms, which is pretty
slow.  
I put FreeBSD on the machine (that's why this reply is a little late),
and similar pings get times like .3 ms.
I can provide the FreeBSD configs, if that helps any.

Still haven't got the framebuffer set up under FreeBSD (haven't tried
yet).  Basically, it's a cheap LCD that needs a VESA framebuffer to look
good.  Even text mode is quite ugly and chunky.
