Hi Torfinn, I've put "/sbin/ifconfig em0 up" into rc.local. Now the behavior is slightly different. Steps: 1) I switch laptop on with cable unplugged. Everything ok (DHCP failed, of course; this is normal). 2) I plug the cable in: "state: active". Yay! This is OK! 3) NIC does not get IP (one time it got the correct IP but the it lost it again, I could see by repeatedly typing "ifconfig em0"). 4) I kill the dhclient. 5) I manually start "dhclient em0". No response (DHCPREQUEST, DHCPDISCOVER, does not finish). 6) I start "ifconfig em0 down" and once again "dhclient em0" (this time without "ifconfig em0 up"!). 7) Got an IP, without delays (as it should be). -- Martin [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkiWxwkACgkQC3yNaKlBCg239gCdGNVbhmpXkRAw0c0OigOz/raF 8kYAoJAHFijXhiKNi9VluXXFCr+8MtO3 =f8yH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
