Description hibma 1999-11-10 10:40:01 UTC

In my configuration I have two ethernet interfaces that I would like to
configure through DHCP. In rc.conf:

	ifconfig_ed1="DHCP"
	ifconfig_wb0="DHCP"

This does not work for the second interface as dhclient bails out on the
fact that port 68 is already taken (by dhclient started for the first
interface).

Fix: Instead of starting a dhclient for each interface, start on for all of them at
the same time.

And the uuencoded version (to maintain overlong lines):
How-To-Repeat: 
	Add a second (bogus possibly) network interface to your rc.conf

I am not clued in enough to actually be able to tell whether the requested 
change does make sense. 

Please someone else have a look and tell me whether this patch makes sense.

This PR can be closed.

Commit Log:

Suport multiple ``ifconfig_*?="DHCP"'' configurations.

Currently we have a problem in that `dhclient' bails when configuring the
second interface as port 68 is already in use (by the `dhclient' started
for the first interface).
