Hi James.

What kernel are you on?

1. At first glance it seems like you dont have NATing enabled.
Set up your 192.168.1.1 gw first.
If it's already in place :
2. Try to manually assign IP and default route to your nic. 
See if that works.
If you're on CURRENT, that may be caused by the latest changes in network stuff.
I have the same nic and it works fine. But I configure it with my own script after boot:

Then I unload the module before I suspend my laptop, otherwise it can have problems resuming.
What do you have in your rc.conf ?

Cheers.
Marcin
