Terminal message for dhclient

I keep getting this message on FreeBSD 10:

Code: 
dhclient[<number>]: send_packet: No buffer space available

It first appears when setting up the wireless network during the FreeBSD install. Any fix or reason why it does this?
 
That usually indicates a problem with networking. What interface are you using? And do you have a firewall enabled?

It starts during the FreeBSD install and configuration of a wireless network so I assume no firewall is on. I'm just using a basic wireless card (DWA-552) to connect to the Internet - I don't know how else to check what interface I'm using.
 
Yes, there's no firewall enabled by default so there isn't one active during the install too. Wireless interfaces are always a bit tricky to configure. Try completing the installation but don't try to configure the wireless interface during the install. Do that after FreeBSD has been installed.

I just let FreeBSD do the config during install, I don't even touch it afterwards.
