           Summary: interfaces that are plumbed and have dhcp running break
                    the state machine
    Classification: Development
           Product: nwam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: ANY/Generic
        OS/Version: All
            Status: ACCEPTED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: ON daemon
        AssignedTo: nwam-dev at opensolaris.org
        ReportedBy: Anurag.Maskey at Sun.COM
         QAContact: nwam-dev at opensolaris.org


If an interface is plumbed and has the DHCP flag and nwamd tries to configure
that interface, the state machine breaks.  It stays in the "waiting for IP
address to be assigned" state.

The issue here is that if the interface already has an address before nwam
starts, then nwamd missed the RTM_NEWADDR routing socket message.  Thus, that
event is never received and the state never changes to online.

These symptoms are seen in bug 9341, where the wireless interface is waiting
for an IP even though it is already bound to an address.
