--- Comment #2 from Chris Ploski <freebsd at tofukong.com> ---
I'm seeing the same behavior as you - em0 goes up, gets IP over DHCP, then ends
up in an endless loop of going down for a few seconds then coming back up. I've
also got a similar setup where the WAN side is connected to a Motorola/Arris
Surfboard 6183 cable modem.

In any case it appears the issue is with dhclient on FreeBSD 11.2 when using em
interfaces. If you kill dhclient immediately after it gets the IP address then
the link flapping stops. The workaround for me was to copy the dhclient binary
from an 11.1 install.
