I had some similar problems with a now-defunct laptop with a bge(4) -
(acer F1000) - IIRC, I had to ifconfig it to '0.0.0.0 up' before
dhclient would work - something to do with the link detection not
working properly if an address wasn't assigned..
e.g:
# ifconfig bge0 0.0.0.0 up
# dhclient bge0
would work..
you might try this, and if it still doesn't work, verify the
card is okay via a manually assigned address..
my apologies for not submitting a bug at the time :)
Thanks,
