I thought we had this problem fixed a long time ago:

	brgphy0: <BCM5704 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> PHY 1 on miibus1
	[...]
	bge0: link state changed to DOWN
	bge0: no link .....bge0: link state changed to UP
	 got link
	DHCPREQUEST on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
	DHCPREQUEST on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
	DHCPDISCOVER on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
	DHCPDISCOVER on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13
	DHCPDISCOVER on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20
	DHCPDISCOVER on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
	DHCPDISCOVER on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9
	No DHCPOFFERS received.

Unless and until a (broadcast) packet is received, the bge interface
does not work.

If I trigger a broadcast on the network while dhclient is running,
it jumps into action and starts working.
