I've been tracking both -STABLE and -CURRENT on my laptop daily (well,
save for maybe half a dozen days) for over a year now, and whenever it's
booted into multi-user mode OK, it handles DHCP client negotiation OK.

I have tweaked /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks a bit, in order to find out what
the hostname that corresponds to the assigned IP address is, and to try
to set the laptop up as an NTP client.  (There's a copy of this at
http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/dhclient-exit-hooks.)

Cheers,
