After some struggling, I finally got the "current" kernel to

built a striped down version of GENERIC to MYKERNEL, and everything

the following:
fxp0: at pci1 dev 1 function 0: i82559 Ethernet, rev 8
fxp0: interrupting at irq 3
fxp0: May need receiver lock-up workaround
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:d0:b7:ab:b2:dc

I do not know what the "may need receiver lock-up workaround"
means. I
assume the problem is in the ethernet driver as opposed to the DHCP
startup
script. Thanks for the help.
Well, it says "may" for a reason. It doesn't say you "do" have this
problem, you may have it.
What did the DHCP attempt say?
Can you assign a static address and get on the network? You really
should try that and tell us why that doesn't work before stating you
have a problem with your card.
