NIC won't DHCP or configure

[Andrew Robinson]

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the suggestion - that's beyond my exerptise, but here is the (hopefully relevant) output of pciconf

###########################################

none4 at pci10:3:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x09001558 chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device   = 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
none5 at pci10:5:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x68331462 chip=0x02011814 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Ralink Technology Corp'
    class    = network


###########################################

I would appreciate any further advice or assistance,

Andrew
