Actually it is the 'ale' driver (kinda funny when you look at my last name ;-) ).. And yes, you are right. When during the instalation I provide a static IP address, the link comes up and I have TCP/IP connectivity. DHCP always fails with 'no link' errors. > > There are several variants of L1 so please show me the dmesg > output. This is a 'dmesg | grep ale' output when I configure a static IP address: ale0: port 0x3000-0x307f mem 0xf6000000-0xf603ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 ale0: 960 Tx FIFO, 1024 Rx FIFO ale0: Using 1 MSI messages. ale0: 4GB boundary crossed, switching to 32bit DMA addressing mode. miibus0: on ale0 ale0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:d1:a5:b8:9a ale0: [FILTER] ale0: link state changed to UP So for now it is workable but I'd like to find out why DHCP is failing and if I can help out trying to figure out what is going on :) Thanks all for your time, Patrick
