Hi,

$ grep sk0 /etc/rc.conf.local
ifconfig_sk0="DHCP"

When booting up or netif restart:

Starting Network: lo0 sk0.
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
         options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
         inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
         inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
         inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
         options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
         ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
         media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
         status: no carrier
                 ^^^^^^^^^^

Please note that on older versions of FreeBSD it printed 'status: 
active' and also IP address obtained via DHCP.  The same now happens 
whether booting up or restarting via /etc/rc.d/netif and is a bit 
confusing at best.  Other network services starting on boot seem to be 
not affected at least.

Regards,

Martin
