sk0: not freezing up, looking good!! but....

[T.F. Cheng]

Hi, 
   I also have trouble with sk0 driver on my 5.3/i386,
after a recent search and a cvsup to 5.3-STABLE source
(01/23/05), config and make depend all install my
kernel, I was able to boot up the machine with the
onboard NIC device turned on and without freezing the
whole thing up, this is good.... really good....
   however, it still can't do DHCP, what I did was I
plugined the cable, killed the oroginal dhclient
process, and reissued one by "/sbin/dhclient sk0", it
took about a few minute before it gave up the prompt,
and there was no ip address, here is what I am now: 
>ifconfig 
sk0:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
        inet6 fe80::211:2fff:fee0:3d61%sk0 prefixlen
64 scopeid 0x2 
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast
255.255.255.255
        ether 00:11:2f:e0:3d:61
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
>dmesg
skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xa800-0xa8ff

100baseTX-FDX, auto
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:97:d5:2a:85

(xl0 is the NIC i am using as substitute now)

  look like the sk0 is recognizing the device well,
and thing runs smoothly, really appreciate what people
have done for sk0, so sorry I don't know how to code.
And I was trying to identify which version of if_sk.c
I have now, in the file, it marked: 
("$FreeBSD: src/sys/pci/if_sk.c,v 1.83.2.6 2005/01/21
00:50:51 mlaier Exp $") so I hoped this is the most
updated. And after cvsuping the source, I only did my
kernel, not the "world", is this enough? thank you for
your help.
