That's correcto about FreeBSD where dhclient or the respective
RC script in /etc/rc.d/dhclient is responsible for initiating
a DHCP request (by the client).

A long time ago, I had played around with TomsRTBT (a Linux
that fits on a disk - not a disc); there dhcpcd seemed to be
the correct DHCP client site program.
