I face a problem similar to this thread, however I have pinpointed my issue to a rc.conf problem:
I have a single interface eth0, which works (with a "deprecated syntax" warning at startup) with the following rc.conf section:
eth0="eth0 155.69.147.34
netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 155.69.151.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 155.69.151.254"
ROUTES=(gateway)
but the network fails when translated to the following new rc.conf syntax:
interface=eth0
address=155.69.147.34
netmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=155.69.151.254
NETWORK_PERSIST="no"
There is no other change.
--------------------------------------
When the code above is used in lieu of the old syntax, the network fails to function in the following ways:

With the updated rc.conf, it seems like there is a low-level issue, like a module fails (however the e1000e module loads so it's not that the network chip module fails to load)
Does anyone see an issue in my rc.conf update?
Thanks
