Both the Apple and the Lucent/Orinoco products use a DNS approach in DHCP
that makes FreeBSD unhappy. (Their nameserver approach works fine with
Windows and Mac OS, though).
To keep the DHCP nameserver from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf on boot you
need to comment out the make resolv.conf section in the dhclient-script,
like so:
#make_resolv_conf() {
# echo search $new_domain_name >/etc/resolv.conf
# for nameserver in $new_domain_name_servers; do
# echo nameserver $nameserver >>/etc/resolv.conf
# done
#}
