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. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike
