Okay, so let's look at this...
ISP -- modem -- rl0 -- fbsd -- sis0 -- LAN
The kernal obviously has the drivers up and running (else
the output of ifconfig wouldn't have shown the interfaces)
For _some_ reason, rl0 is showing a status of "no carrier."
This tells me one of two things...
1. The cable between rl0 and the modem is not connected.
2. The cable is faulty.
So far, so good. Also, re: point 2.... unless the picture is really like
modem -- [hub or switch] -- rl0
You may need to use a cross pinned cable between modem and rl0.
One may have come with the modem; if you substituted another
ethernet patch cable you had on hand, that may not work. Or vice
versa, if you have put a hub or switch in the mix, you may need to
replace the modem's provided crossover cable with a normal one.
