Replying to comment #15

Yep, you're right, no DHCPOFFER seen by the NIC.

Here is what I see. (Possibility of slight typos as I'm typing this by hand=
.)
One thing I find odd is that the interface has the SIMPLEX flag initially a=
nd
keeps that flag even after attempting DHCP.

A further "dmesg | grep bge0" yields many repetitions of these lines:

bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
bge0: link state changed to UP

Again, this laptop works fine when I install Debian on it, so it's very
unlikely to be the hardware. Do you have any ideas?
