 Still got the same problem with 5.3-RELEASE-p3 with if_sk.c v1.95 and
 if_skreg.h v1.25.
 
 Sometimes it just gets an ip adress directly. But mostly i have to kill
 dhclient and restart it in the hope it gets one the second try.
 
 If dhclient doesn't get the ip the first try it waits 2 minutes en then
 ~ continues with no ip address assigned.
 Static ip's won't work.. i can't ping other hosts at all.
 
 If dhclient gets an ip the second try i mostly get the message Network
 is unreachable en binds to a proper ip adress and the connection works fine.
 
 
 here a part of messages when dhclient succeeds to get an ip:
 
 Jan 11 22:18:34 blue dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable
 Jan 11 22:18:34 blue dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file
 regarding broadcast address.
