Hi, I did full system rebuild from freshly csup'ped sources. Everything went smooth as usual, but after reboot network card did not get configured via DHCP. There were four lines logged on console/in syslog: dhclient[822]: re0: not found dhclient[822]: exiting dhclient[823]: connection closed dhclient[823]: exiting I did some tests, disabled automatic dhclient invocation in rc.conf. Then, after connecting cable, ifconfig re0 show status active, netstat -rnf inet shows only loopback route (128.0.0.1 on lo0). Manually starting dhclient re0: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists re0: not found exiting At this point, netstat -rnf inet shows additional 0.0.0.0/8 route on re0,yet there is no addres in ifconfig re0 output. Assigning IP statically works (tested only via ifconfig re0 <IP>, but setting this in rc.conf should have exastly the same effect). I found a bit strange workaround for this - first assign any IP to interface, I used 0.0.0.1/8, then launching dhclient re0 yields desired result... This problem is observed with sources 24 hours old, verified with sources 12 hours old, did not occured last time I did rebuild from sources 3 or 4 days old (not remembered exactly). Regards, Milan
