I installed the wide-dhcp client and made the changes to /etc/rc.conf
and /etc/rc.network:
in /etc/rc.conf:
network_interfaces="de0 lo0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback).
ifconfig_de0="DYNAMIC"
defaultrouter="DYNAMIC"
in /etc/rc.network:
# Do the primary ifconfig if specified
eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}
+ if [ "${ifconfig_args}" = "DYNAMIC" ] ; then
+# rm /var/db/dhcp_cache # uncomment to get different IP number
+ /usr/local/sbin/dhcpc ${ifn}
+ else
if [ -n "${ifconfig_args}" ] ; then
ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args}
fi
+ fi
...
# Configure routing
- if [ "x$defaultrouter" != "xNO" ] ; then
+ if [ "x$defaultrouter" != "xNO" -a "x$defaultrouter" != "xDYNAMIC" ] ; then
static_routes="default ${static_routes}"
route_default="default ${defaultrouter}"
fi
--mark.
