Re: dhclient in 6.0
I had the same problem. Mine was with a wireless card, so my exact fix is probably not yours but this may point the way. I had to load a driver not autoloaded in 6.0 (wlan_wep.ko) and add an extra parm to the ifconfig: old: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey key string new: ifconfig wi0 wep wepkey key string deftxkey 1 From reading of the ifconfig man page I thought that was the default. Many thanks to Robert Watson for the right answer. I did not have a dhclient.conf in 5.3 or 6.0. In general - it may not be dhclient, you may need an addition module or some additional setting on the ifconfig for your card. In my case I think I got an error about the missing module. I hope this helps.

Hi there, I just read through this thread. I run dhclient on 6.0 with no problem at all. Normally, it will start sending a DHCPREQUEST then DHCPDISCOVER. Some questions: - Do you use a dhclient.conf from your previous install? These are incompatible. The new dhclient is a port from OpenBSD who completely rewrote dhclient. The old is from ISC. - Have you tried to toggle timeout/retry in dhclient.conf? - Can you sniff traffic on the NIC? - Do you have any firewalling set? or did you forget to disable ipfw? I think that ipfw defaults to block everything, I'm not sure if that is new in 6.0. Yes, I know the last two are somewhat basic stuff, but sometimes one just forget to check it.

I am using my (ISC) dhclient.conf unmodified under (OpenBSD) dhclient with (as far as I know) no adverse results. And I think I specificly remember the announcement of the change explicitly saying most config files would need no changes.

Ok, let me be more precise, there are options in the old ISC files that are not supported in the new and the new also introduces new options. Of course, whenever possible it is advantageous to reuse keywords and meanings. I do not know if dhclient defaults to ignore the unknown or it chokes and dies. Anyway, the problem may be solved by toggling with the dhclient.conf and OP does not mention any such thing nor it old files have been left from a previous install. Sniffing on the interface (snort -vC -i fxp0) would give some good clues as to where the problem is, maybe no responses get back because the request is blocked? or no requests are sent at all? I don't know if OP have reverted to 5.4 yet.
