Well, I would consider this a feature, not a bug, and a convenient one. It 
happens on me from time to time that I have DHCP configured on one interface, 
then after move to another place I issue 'ifconfig fxp0 ....' and some time 
after network suddenly stops working due to dhclient running and deleting my 
manually entered setting.
Where there also 'ifconfig fxp0 DHCP' for consistency...
I know this could be easily done with some scripting, but I could not 
resist :)
