Sorry about that.  I have to manually type in whats on the screen.  =
There are no working network interfaces.  I am not a great typist.  The =
underscore is actually there.

It looks that way.  I chased down the not found message in dhclient.  It =
is generated in discover_interfaces as the result of a getifaddrs call.

I added to rc.conf:

ipv6_network_interfaces=3D"none"
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=3D"NO"


Didn't change anything.
