>Release: FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
CSI - UVSQ
>Environment:
3.2-RELEASE and 3.2-STABLE
>Description:
3.2-RELEASE contains dhclient but the startup scripts (/etc/rc*) do
not include any support for it. Thus, it is not possible to use DHCP to
set the IP address without modifying these scripts.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Apply the following patch that adds dhclient support in /etc/rc.network
and /etc/defaults/rc.conf. This patch includes the changes made in the
current version of /etc/rc*.
