this exact problem on several of my boxes.

Notice how I dont have a "inet" section on my first ethernet adapter. There
should be one. There isnt, even if it would only be 0.0.0.0

haven# /sbin/dhclient lnc1 lnc0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
dhclient: New IP Address(lnc0): 24.82.66.238
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (lnc0): 255.255.252.0
dhclient: New Broadcast Address(lnc0): 24.82.67.255
dhclient: New Routers: 24.82.64.1
haven#
Then I get locked out of the box, and cant reconnect. If I remove the other
ethernet adapter it works (out of /etc/rc.conf)
