--- Comment #10 from jimp@pfsense.org ---
There does not appear to be a way to disable or override this behavior, even
using supersede in the dhclient.conf doesn't let you turn it off or set an
alternate value. My ISP sends a bogus MTU value of 576 which was ignored
before, but now gets set and leads to major connectivity issues since the M=
TU
should be 1500.

The link bounces when the MTU is set as well, at least on e1000. I see dhcl=
ient
was changed to help cope with that but it also affects other things that key
off link up/down events.

Any chance this can be reopened and the change backed out until it can be m=
ade
optional, perhaps by a command line parameter to dhclient? This will probab=
ly
impact a number of people unexpectedly on upgrade.
