Hi,
I updated my -current box around 29/01/04 and now it doesn't appear to be able 
to get a DHCP lease :(

# dhclient -d -v fxp0

And on the server..
Feb  2 10:22:40 metatron dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 0.0.0.0 from 00:20:e0:65:13:1d 
via dc0: unknown lease 0.0.0.0.

via dc0: unknown lease 0.0.0.0.

DHCP server is FreeBSD with isc-dhcp3-3.0.1.r9 which hasn't changed for a 
while.

Setting address and routes by hand sucks, please help :)

Gah..
I just went to do some more tracing and it worked fine after not working
all morning.. The working one did a DHCPDISCOVER first, though I don't know 
why :(
