 It's also worth noting that dhcpcd-5.x can now be run as a single 
 daemon for all interfaces and I use the following script installed as 
 /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd
 Under FreeBSD some work does need to be done though to try and avoid 
 running on interfaces for which DHCP won't work such as directly on 
 iwi(4).
 
 Per interface configuration now happend in dhcpcd.conf(5) which I think 
 that package needs to be modified to install the one that ships.
 
 I'm currently awaiting feedback on a new bug found and will hopefully 
 release a new package next week based on the results.
 
 dhcpcd-5.99.x branch is also a DHCPv6 client and should be declared a 
 stable version (well, enough for general testing) in a month or two.
 
 Lastly, some needs to chase up on a bug report I filed a few years ago, 
 kern/131536 which can be a potential problem for dhcpcd.
 
 Thanks
 
 Roy
