I have a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE system on an InsightBB cable modem connection. InsightBB is a rebranded version of AT&T broadband offering, as far as I can tell. dhclient is returning enough information so that the connection works, but some of the information is bogus. In particular, the host-name field and broadcast-address field are bogus (former is not the host name associated with the IP address, and the broadcast address is 255.255.255.255, which is not the broadcast address associated with the subnet mask of 255.255.248.0. I'm about to modify my /sbin/dhclient-script to fix these problems, but wonder if anyone has already done it and if there are any land mines I might step on. snort also stopped working at this time, although the debug option shows no errors but I suspect the problem is related.
