As far as I can see this means a bridge interface no longer works when
set to dhcp on boot, as the above assumes devd will start dhclient.
Firstly it does not generate link-state events which I patched for
(same as the recent tap(4) change) but the bridge also doesn't support
the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl to match "ethernet" in the 2nd part of the
rule.
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "type" "LINK_UP";
media-type "ethernet";
action "/etc/rc.d/dhclient quietstart $subsystem";
};
What is the best way to fix this?
Andrew
