The ethernet card was provided with my cable modem (Lancity) by my cable
company. The mac-address of the card is used for identification purposes
by the cable company (therefore just swapping cards won't work).

The failure is that 'dhclient xl0' (we must use dhcp with the cable
modem) does not work:

    Listening on BPF/xl0/00:50:04:ea:f9:c0

    1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
    No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

'dhclient xl0' does work on 3.4-stable and with the 'fix' I proposed for
4.0-current, so I'm not suspecting the cable modem itself.

If you need more information or want me to try something, please contact
me again.

Thanks,

Arjan
