Hi tech@,
I'm following -current and recently observed that my laptop
startup hangs at execution of netstart (when dhclient is called).
Apparently, this is because I use the following dhclient.conf
(since a couple of OpenBSD releases - so the issue is not in the config):
interface "bge0" {
link-timeout 0;
}
I attempted to read/understand some of the dhclient code to track
the issue down. I'm still not entirely sure but I thought I share
the follwing patch with you - it solves the link-timeout 0
case for me. As well it matches how "tickstart" is setup at other
places in the same file.
Regards
Holger
