Indeed, SYNCDHCP fixed ntpd and others.

Regarding lagg, please see my reply to your hint from week ago:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2009-December/011861.html

Even with explicit 'network_interfaces' it did not change/help.  And 
please note that lagg was listed twice when stopping and starting via 
netif script (pls see the link above for details).

With regards,

Martin
