Brooks fixed a bunch of bugs in dhclient and I just committed an important fix to wpa_supplicant to work right when wireless cards are ejected (previously it would loop). I also tested that dhclient does the right thing for roaming between ap's--switching causes dhclient to immediately collect a new lease. I just ran tests with wpa_supplicant and found that it does appear to handle open ap's properly. Everything except the wpa_supplicant changes have been MFC'd to RELENG_6 for the 6.0RC2 build that's going to happen soon (I'm hoping to get re to approve the wpa_supplicant changes). So the question is what are the outstanding issues with dhclient and wpa_supplicant? I'm mostly concerned with wireless devices but feel free to talk about wired interfaces too. If something doesn't work right please try to give steps to reproduce the problem. Otherwise please provide detailed info include ifconfig output. Remember that dhclient logs info to /var/log/messages and you should also see link state change msgs there too. Sam
