FreeBSD  7.0-BETA1.5 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1.5 #0: Thu Oct 25 01:19:36 UTC 2007     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
pcn fails to work when using FreeBSD under the VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) virtualization software.

The machine is unable to pull DHCP addresses from a local DHCP server, and is unable to send or receive packets over the network when configured with a static IP address.

FreeBSD 6.2 worked flawlessly with VirtualBox.

I don't have physical hardware for the pcn driver, and am only able to test in a virtualized environment.
>How-To-Repeat:
Download VirtualBox v1.5.2 (http://www.virtualbox.org/), create a new VM, and proceed through the install. The network fails to work.
