The OS doesn't see DHCP server on the network, so no address (and no internet, and no pkg_add chromium, …) Please ensure that a DHCP server could be reached from re0 (right network card plugged if more than one ? cable correctly plugged ? cable functional ? DHCP server present on the network ?) Having the (full) output of the following commands could help to diagnostic: - dmesg - ifconfig -A Regards. -- Sebastien Marie
