When I upgraded my isc-dhcp3 port it stopped recognising my wi0 interface:

Oct 11 03:48:13 ice dhcpd: wi0: not found

and refused to start.


After some googling I found this problem mentioned somewhere else. It
happens because some buffer in dhcpd is too small to hold lots of
interfaces, and I happen to have a lot:

ice:~>ifconfig -l
fxp0 lp0 stf0 ipr0 ipr1 ipr2 ipr3 faith0 isp0 isp1 isp2 isp3 lo0 ppp0 ppp1 gif0 gif1 gif2 gif3 wi0

Fix: A workaround is to increase the relevant buffer. Patch attached.
