rl2 not working on otherwise functioning network/gateway

[chris at voicesofopposition.org]

Ok, if someone here can help me w/ this I will be really grateful. I
turned to this list after a post on a forum offering the expected advice
didn't help solve my problem. Basically my computer acts as a gateway for
my network, and it functions fine. I then decided to add another network
adapter so that I could add my file server to the network. But after
making the necessary changes to my rc.conf, I found that the network card
was "active", but had no IP address, and wasn't passing traffic. I'm
attaching my dmesg, and the output from ifconfig rl2. Here are a few
things I've tried to remedy the problem.

I tried swapping out the nic, disabling acpi, resetting the CMOS battery,
booting with the GNERIC kernel, and adding network information to th NIC
manually.

None of this helped. Anyway, like I said, the gateway functions for the
other computer on the network, so firewall and NATD are there. Here is all
the info
