I was troubleshooting the same problem yesterday and after a little
digging found this discussion from 2002 in the freebsd-net mailing list:
http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-net_2002/msg03372.html
The PR filed in 2002 is still open:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/41632
Looks like the code responsible for discarding the packets is still in
the RELENG_6 code base: search for "Discard packet if interface is not
up" in sys/net/if_ethersubr.c
If I can get my pfSense development tree working I may try to rebuild
with this code commented out to determine if it fixes the problem.

something new in freebsd 6.1).

To add, i have opt1(wireless) and Lan bridged. Once I get an
IP on the
wireless, all else is fine. Maybe I set it up differently?
Not sure anythoughts

I just got this Soekris box running and ill log on wireless.
and it will
start to get an ip but never get an ip. I plugged into the
LAN port, and
boom, now the DHCP is working over wirless. Any thoughts on
this so i dont
have to have something plugged into the LAN?
