Description John Reynolds 2000-01-08 09:20:01 UTC 
Since DHCP was brought into the tree, rc.network was capable of launching
DHCP via

  ${dhcp_program} ${dhcp_flags} ${ifn}

for a given network $ifn.

To trigger this, you set the rc.conf variable

  ifconfig_<ifn>

to DHCP like so:

  ifconfig_<ifn>="DHCP"

But this is not documented in the man page for rc.conf. One will only find it
by grepping rc.network.

Fix: Apply the following patch to rc.conf.5
How-To-Repeat: 
  n/a

From-To: open->closed

Fixed in rev 1.60 and rev 1.27.2.23 of rc.conf.5 with a slightly modified 
patch. 

Thanks!
