This is the first time that DHCP received the gateway and dns ip addresses. I have always needed to use a static ip. This is the first time changing to a static ip has not allowed me to connect until I rebooted the system. This must be due to recent changes to DHCP, one step forward and two steps back.

Does mean that some packets were transmitted and received. And the problem occure some time later.

I cannot confirm this - both my rtl8139 and rtl8169 networks are working well now. DHCP is function now - both at the system start and after re-plugging network cable during working system session all DHCP operations go OK. Your problem looks like a hardware-dependent issue. May be you shold acquire a syslog and attach it to this ticket?

I see track lost my comment when I uploaded the screenshot and syslog. It seems that I was mistaken ... the ip, dns and gateway were left over from the last time I set a static ip and not found by DHCP. setting to static will not work until I reboot. It always has worked without rebooting in the past. DHCP it seems is still broken on the sis900 network adapter.

This ticket should be changed to "DHCP broken on sis900 network adapter."

As of hrev35938 DHCP is now working on my sis900 network adapter. This ticket can be closed.

DHCP is still not working at hrev35945 here, static IP does work.
Possibly related: the Ethernet address is shown as 00:00:00:00:00:00

That's probably due to this entry from your syslog:
KERN: sis900: could not get MAC address
comment:12 by , 15 years ago
That should indeed be the problem here. You may want to look at the linux/FreeBSD driver if they do something special to retrieve the MAC address with that PHY/revision combination.

Doesn't work here for me in alpha2.
The adapter receives a random IP address after some time. Setting a static IP doesn't work here, too. When I try to set it back to DHCP and click apply, the network application completely hangs with the apply-button remaining in the pressed state. This also happened after I inserted an old 3com adapter in parallel. I could only get it to work when disabling the sis900 in the bios setup.

dupe of #4968
Perhaps, slightly different hardware revision though so might be worth keeping both around. I'll add a comment to #4968.

Probably fixed by switching SiS 900 to use the FreeBSD driver in hrev52675.

Assign tickets with status=closed and resolution=fixed within the R1/beta2 development window to the R1/beta2 Milestone
I set the network to a static ip instead of DHCP. Still no luck with the network. I rebooted with the static ip still set and the networking started working, DHCP finds the ip, gateway, and ip dns addresses, but will not use them. to get the system to use them one must set the network to use static ip and re-boot.
