Intel 82579LM Issue

[John Halfpenny <jsh%SDF.ORG@localhost>]

Hi All

I recently installed NetBSD 7.0.1/i386 on a HP Elitebook 8460p.

When I try to use DHCP on both the installer and the installed system, I 
am dumped with the IP address 169.254.218.140 (i.e. nowheresville) so no 
pkgsrc for me. 

If I boot from a linux live distro then DHCP works fine.

The network card in question is an Intel PRO/1000 82579LM (rev 04). Is 
there something I need to do to get this going (firmware?). 

Snipped dmesg output below.

As usual thanks for any tips and pointers!

John

# dmesg | grep "at pci"

wm0 at pci0 dev 25 function 0: PCH2 LAN (82579LM) Controller (rev. 0x04)
