Hi,
Try finishing off the install and then see if you can
manually get it working. I have see in the past some drivers bugs
causing difficulty with DHCP. Perhaps try and manually set the PHY
speed and IP address. I dont see any obvious fixes that went into the
tree Post 8.0R, but if you can get things partially working, or
enough to file a PR, someone might be able to fix things up from there.
What does
ifconfig -a
show ?
also
pciconf -lvc
...for the part that shows the nic driver.
If its the ae driver, try
ifconfig ae0 media 10baseT/UTP up
and then
dhclient ae0
or manually set the IP address and see if that works.
