Thank you. It seems that you are right.
Usually I am working inside 2 networks. Because of it I have used 2 network 
profiles for it - 1) eth0, dhcp; 2) ath0, WiFi with WPA encyphering, dhcp.
But recently I decided to move from using network profiles to using ifplugd 
daemon. I had setup ifplugd daemon and it seems to work, but now I see that 
there are some strange problem with DHCP. 
In case of using network profiles I just set IFOPTS="dhcp" inside profile file 
in /etc/network-profiles.
After move to ifplugd I have commented NET_PROFILES=(menu) inside rc.conf and 
add lines 
eth0="dhcp"
ath0="dhcp"
After this ifplugd brings up eth0 (and ath0) successfully, I can browse 
internet via local proxy, ping other computers, but I can't ping myself (There 
are no such problem with network profiles). Output of ifconfig eth0 is 
identical in both cases - with ifplugd and network-profiles.

I suspect following:
In case of using network profile I have active only eth0 interface. In case of 
ifplugd I have:

i.e. ath0 is also present and up. But WiFi antenna is switched off and there 
are no WiFi network reachable. I suspect that it can cause attempt to reach 
local address via not active ath0.
Could anyone say me how to setup ifplugd in such case to prevent activating 
ath0 in case of network absence?

Thanks in advance.

Vladislav Titov
