Looks like the second NIC isn't properly configured (or configured at all).
Not only is it not up, but it has no IP information.
Can you manually start it ala:
ifconfig rl0 inet 172.16.5.20 netmask 255.255.0.0
(pick your own IP range if you like)

If manually starting it works, review your rc.conf settings.  If you can't
find anything wrong, post your rc.conf to the list and we'll take a gander
at it.
