I've tested it with PCIID(0x10de, 0x0057) CK804.
The result is DHCP timeout.
  * The link LED seems is on, but the ifstate says link is not up.
  * While requesting DHCP I see the LED blinks, but DHCP server did
    not receive any packet.
  * If I enter to shell, and do several times ifopen/ifclose until
    I see the link is up with ifstate(The link LED keeps on).
    Then I do DHCP, it succeed.
