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).
