--- Comment #7 from Bhavesh Davda <bhavesh.davda at gmail.com> ---
I'm hitting the same issue, as are other colleagues who have tried various
versions of FreeBSD from 8.4 to 10.0 to 11.0 as a domU guest on Xen.

The issue has to do with checksum offloaded packets arriving from a DHCP server
running in dom-0 on Xen, and dhclient getting fooled by those.

I'm attaching a proposed patch that fixes this issue. I've tested this in a
FreeBSD 11.0 VM on Xen 4.4.4 with a Linux 4.1.12-based dom-0 kernel.
