So I am attempting to bring my FreeBSD router back online with my cable
modem and the Ethernet device simply fails to obtain an address.

I have installed 4.6.2 and the NIC is a 3COM supported by the xl0 device
driver. This same NIC had worked about one year ago, in the same system,
until I lost the hard drive.

The network at work also supports DHCP, so I brought the system in and
connected it. Lo and behold it successfully got an address and worked,
without any help from me.

At home again whenever I attempt to execute 'dhclient xl0' all I receive is
the help screen. What am I doing wrong here?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Cameron
