 Okay, I could reproduce this issue on my box.  After invocation of
 dhclient(8), a link is up and then state_reboot() drops the link
 establishment.  Removing the changes around RTM_IFINFO in r247336
 makes it work with no problem.

 A workaround is specifying the following line in rc.conf:

 ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
