freevrrp problem

[Tom Arnold]

Having a problem with a very simple freevrrp config.
This is FreeBSD 5.2.1p5

/usr/local/etc/freevrrpd.conf :
[VRID]
serverid = 1 
interface = em0
priority = 255
addr = 192.168.13.209/32
password = dlvip 
#masterscript = "/usr/local/bin/master_script.sh"
#backupscript = "/usr/local/bin/backup_script.sh"

If I start freevrrpd I get :
May 11 17:35:40 downloads1-new freevrrpd[61294]: launching daemon in
background mode
May 11 17:35:40 downloads1-new freevrrpd[61295]: initializing threads and

Hardware is a Dell 650 with, of course, onboard Intel Pro/1000.
Also using freevrrp on other Dell650's, but they came with Pro/100's ( fxp )
and work fine, so I'm leaning towards hardware or driver quirks, but any
ideas appreciated.

Thanks.
