Ethernet Card Troubles

["Benjamin J. Kraus" <bjk23@cornell.edu>]

I just recently switched from Red Hat Linux 6.2 to OpenBSD 2.8
I installed last night, with an FTP install onto my computer
which has a 486 60 mhtz processor and 64 MB of RAM.
The FTP install worked just fine (and fast),
however now that it is installed and running,
I am running into problems accessing the Internet.
Pinging the machine that is in the same room on the same hub takes
around 10000 ms. Domain lookups take a really long time,
or time out before I get a response.
I am able to send mail using the command "mail" but that also
takes a very long time.
Trying to use ftp will time out because it takes to much time to
send the login name.
I use a 3com EtherLink III ISA 3c509b - TPO ethernet card,
which worked just fine under Red Hat.
The plug and play is disabled already.
It is configured to use DHCP, and that seems to be working okay,
it finds the correct, IP, DNS entries, and gateways, etc.
The /etc/hostname.ep0 file contains only the word "dhcp".
Here is a copy of the response I get when I run the command:
ifconfig ep0

ep0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
media: Ethernet 10baseT
inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fe13:6fe2%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 128.253.186.99 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 128.253.186.127

Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,
Ben
