This comes from the service method: /lib/svc/method/elatte-sysidtool-net
#
# net_device_list contains a new line delimited list
# of network devices. The new line is used for the (unique) sort.
# do an auto-revarp on each of unique interface with the
# exception of the loopback device
#
net_device_list=`echo $net_device_list | sort -u`
...
#
# try DHCP first then reverse ARP
#
/sbin/ifconfig $i auto-dhcp >/dev/null 2>&1
This attempts to do dhcp on all configured interfaces regardless of
their configuration state. I don't know what the intent of this method
is but it is very wrong for a general system. Configuring network
interfaces is already taken care of in svc:/network/physical:default.
In any case, commenting the above line (ifconfig $i auto-dhcp) solves
this problem.
Thanks,
