 I can recreate the problem with a recent 8.0 system:
 
 FreeBSD hp010 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Feb 13 11:28:36
 CST 2008     swhetzel at hp010:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/DV8135NR  amd64
 
 When I don't have ndis_event start, then I don't get an IP address
 using DHCP.  With it running, I am able to receive an IP address.

 I have tested it on 3 different networks (2 - secure, 1 - open).
