That could be the problem. It seems incorrect to be able to assign an address to an interface that is a member of an if_bridge bridge. I'm not 100% certain this is the case, but it seems right. If that's the case, dhclient should not work on member interfaces. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
