[f-nsp] can't get ping on foundry

[Dan Norton]

I tried both connection to a switch via xover cable with auto-neg on and
off (hard coded the ports) because Cisco auto-neg is pretty terrible.

As well as directly connected to a router via cat5 cable. Crossover
cable won't work when connecting foundry-router.

I also tried direct connection to a laptop via cat5.

I also don't have any vlans set up and if you look at my first post it
shows that vlan tagging is not active on all the interfaces and the port
shows up and in a forwarding state.
