After a recent upgrade from 8.2-STABLE to 8.4-RELEASE, this series of events started:

Looking at ps, I saw:

Code:
[cmd]$ ps auwx | grep dhc[/cmd]
root      810  0.0  0.3  3368  1364  ??  Ss    9:47PM   0:00.05 dhclient: fxp0 [priv] (dhclient)

root     2165  0.0  0.3  3684  1436  ??  R     9:48PM   0:00.01 sh -c /etc/rc.d/dhclient quietstart fxp0
dan      2167  0.0  0.2  1832   952   0  R+    9:48PM   0:00.01 grep dhc

Hmm... killing off dhclient let me get a net connection, but that's not a long term solution.

Ideas?

In the meantime, I'm upgrading to 9.1-RELEASE now...
