	I seem to be unable to get my cable modem working with FreeBSD
2.2.5. The unit itself works fine when I use it with Win95. I added the
Wide-DHCP package in the hopes that I would be able to get FreeBSD
working. The kernel is built as required with the bpfilters set to 4. I
set my rc.conf up as defined, executing dhcpc produces:

retransmiting DHCPDISCOVER
	"	  "
client can get no DHCPOFFER
Some exception occurs in finite state machine.

I keep an eye on whats hapenning with dhcpm and I've noticed that the
messages from my system are different from the message from other peoples
machines. My src_ip is 0.0.0.0 and the dst_ip is 255.255.255.255, my ci si
yi and gi values are all 0.0.0.0 and server_id is None. Default_Router is
also None. 

I am trying to access the Cogeico/Rogers Wave service. I would really
appreciate hearing from someone who can point out what is going worng, or
has set up a similar system. Thanks for your time..
