Greetings,

I posted this on the pc-bsd forum and was directed here. 

I installed the latest 8.X and the interface worked fine. 

Yesterday, I did a clean install of 9.0. 

The issue is that the bge0 interface is not working. 
It is seen by the kernel(ifconfig shows it) but just won't ping.
I have tried dhcp and a static address. 
I used a backtrack live cd and this worked fine. 


I did find this bug below but it seemed to only affect 8.2

The bge(4) Ethernet driver has a known issue where the interface is seen but does not respond to networking requests. A patch is available for 8.2 (see 155442) and the driver will be fixed in 8.3.

Any ideas?
