According to the documentation, dhclient calls dhclient-script for every action. It does not. It appears that dhclient only calls dhclient-script (now) to set the media. At the very least, the documentation is wrong. But the functionality that was dhclient-script was useful in many ways... not the least of which is situations where adding a default route is not the right activity. I have also noticed that dhclient (the new one) doesn't appear to correctly notice atheros wireless state changes. It doesn't appear to try to reacquire ip addresses when you roam into a new open access point network. Dave.
This is due to a "feature" of the new dhclient that FreeBSD has. I think it comes from OpenBSD? At any rate, whatever Openbsd (or FreeBSD?) did to it severely crippled it's functionality regarding dhclient-script. I made an attempt to fix it, but gave up a short way through (ENOTIME). I've seen other patch attempts to fix this but those failed aswell. I'd be happy if this were fixed, though it is a not-entirely-trivial patch, iirc. -Jordan _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
