I had this same problem being a @home subscriber. I discovered if you add in
the /etc/dhclient.conf this string, all will be fine:
interface "ed0" {
send dhcp-client-identifier "cr-123456-a";
}
Make certain that in /etc/rc.conf you have the following string:
network_interfaces="ed0 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="DHCP"
And of course make sure you have the BFP enabled in your kernel and have
/dev/bpf0 (although, I THINK since FreeBSD 3.3 this has all been enabled
by default... or was it since 3.2? I can't recall). Anywayz, give it a
reboot and all should be well.
However, I do have a question that is sort of related. Let's say I
restart my rc scripts with "sh /etc/rc". Now, FreeBSD can't open a BPF it
says or that I don't have a spare one left. Without creating more /dev/bpf*
devices, how can I "close" (I don't know the correct terminology, sorry)
the /dev/bpf0? Because I don't want to have to reboot all the time.
Much thanx in advance.
