Package: dhcp3-client-udeb
Severity: important
Tags: patch
In GNU/kFreeBSD, /sbin/dhclient-script fails to set the netmask provided by
the DHCP server, leaving the kernel to supply a default netmask. When using
uncommon netmasks, this has the tendency to break networking. If booting
mini.iso, this prevents the installation from continuing, unless network
settings are specified manually.
