Are you saying your dhclient cannot get an IP address because
of ipfw? If so, try the following rules (of course, replace
rule number and interface):
# Allow DHCP packets in and out
3200 add pass udp from any 68 to any 67 out via xl0
3200 add pass udp from any 67 to any 68 in via xl0
Hope this helps.
