    I am trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 on an IBM Thinkpad 600E. I am having
    a problem configuring the IBM EtherJet Cardbus network card and am unable
    to connect to the network. After doing some research on google, I modified
    my /boot/loader.conf to have:

    hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
    hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"
    hw.cbb.start_memory="536870912"
    apm_load="1"

    I also modified my /etc/rc.conf to include:
    devd_enable="YES"
    pccard_enable="YES"
    pccard_ifconfig="YES"

    After doing this FreeBSD does recognize the card and when I type an
    ifconfig, I do see the network card. However, I do not get an IP address
    assigned to me. On doing a "dhclient dc0" (dc0 is my device name for the
    etherjet card) I get an error "dc0: watchdog timeout". How can I configure
    my card to get an IP address using DHCP.

    I have not built a custom kernel. Do I need to build one, and if yes what
    would be the kernel config file values?

    Any inputs would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
    Rashim
