Most of the comments are from past versions of the document. I debated removing them but the issue with ping acting weird remains so I decided to leave the comments for now.

But networking in general appears to work, aside from the ping strangeness.

For example, using pkg to install packages works fine. Likewise, portsnap fetch extract, and when you build packages from ports the system is able to fetch over the network without apparent issues.

Edit: I cleaned up the comments on the gist a little, leaving the ones that are still relevant (the ones about ping), while removing some comments that were talking about problems that are out of date.
