In message: <20090409153805.GB83847@lor.one-eyed-alien.net> Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> writes: : Unless you have one of the few interfaces that does not generate : link status events, dhclient will be started by devd. The only ones I : know of are a subset set of ed(4) devices, though I think imp may have : fixed those recently with a stub ifmedia interface. I think ep(4) is the only "common" case left. For ed(4) we now do the right thing for the really old cards (those without a MII) as well as the merely old cards (those with a phy). For the really old cards, we generally default to "Link is up all the time" as our status, specifically to keep dhclient happy. Of course, the number of users of these cards is quite low these days... I've fixed a number of bugs that should have been bad enough for people to complain, but since nobody did, I'm guessing the install base is smaller than I'd thought... Warner
