Connecting to DHCP network with Realtek interface

I have a Realtek 8139 interface in one of my machines and it will not connect to the network. /etc/rc.conf contains ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" and "rl0" was obtained from a dmesg. A network interface restart yields the following:
Code:
# /etc/rc.d/netif restart
Stopping network: lo0 rl0 fwe0 plip0.
rl0: no link .............. giving up
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 00:50:fc:6e:0f:5b
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

I have also tried "ifconfig_rl0 up", but without any effect. Anybody know what else to test and configure?
