Cant bring up network interface

[Nikhil Kale]

Hello,
  I have just installed FreeBSD 5.2 on my system. My
network card is National Semiconductors DP 83815 which
is detected properly for interface sis0. But somehow I
cant bring the interface up using DHCP. My machine is
a dual boot, and the linux system gets the proper DHCP
address.
  I have observed that there is an LED for ENET on my
Broadband modem. When i turn my machine on, this LED
is ON. While booting as soon the messages for sis0 are
logged, the led goes OFF.
  I tried loading different modules from /boot/kernel
using kldstat, and on loading module apm.ko the ENET
LED goes ON again. I even tried loading if_sis.ko
module, but no luck.
  I am new to FreeBSD and am not sure whats happening.

Can anyone point in the right direction??

Thanks in advance,
--Nikhil.
