 This is a know issue with some devices supported by ed(4).  You can work
 around it by changing DHCP to SYNCDHCP which will cause dhclient to
 alwasy start immediatly on that interface instead of waiting for a link
 state change that never happens.

Thanks for the hint!

What about the following patch?

Don't hesitate to reword it - my englsh can be terrible!

Donation: if someone wants this card for investigations, I can bring it
at EuroBSDCon. It has 2 outputs: 1 RJ45 and 1 coaxial.
