Rev. 1.4 of rc.d/defaultroute.
Ok, what should I do to have network daemons happy on startup?
I am on a LAN so always have plugged-in cable.
I do see on the console:
msk0: link state changed to DOWN
msk0: link state changed to UP
                   got link
msk0: link state changed to DOWN
Starting Network: lo0 msk0.
msk0: link state changed to UP
msk0: link state changed to DOWN

AFAIK some NIC (or PHY-s?) require some sort of reset to handle some
events.
Should I live with synchronous_dhclient="YES" or something else?

Thanks,
Alexey.
