 The EEXISTS above comes from in.c (rtinit) when one tries to add an
 address in an already existing prefix: ("inet 24.82.66.245 netmask
 0xfffffc00" on lnc0 has the same prefix as the address your dhcp is
 trying to give to lnc1)
 
 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/in.c.diff originally done for my CARP
 port should fix/work around it. Can you, please give it a try?
 
 The code was obtained from WIDE via OpenBSD.
