No need to change the rc or network.subr system for now, as dhclient and rtsold are already off by default (or if enabled by default will be possible to disable in rc.conf). No need to have plans to remove dhclient/rtsold now - let’s give people the option for now, with no plan to necessarily remove dhclient/rtsold.

Morning! Since my recent update from FreeBSD12-current r313908 to r315466, I have noticed some strange behaviour with one of my network interfaces. The interface seems to work fine for a day or so, but on a number of occasions I have found it to be down, and constantly outputting the following
