I'm using a 4.2 stable kernel. I tried changing ifconfig_vr0 in rc.conf to "DHCP" and making the change to dhcp in /stand/sysinstall but I've obviously missed something because I'm not getting an address from @home, my cable modem connection. I've looked around and found some things but they've been fixes for much earlier kernels. @home is changing all static users so it might be a good time for an artical on the subject.
