dhclient fails: can't open and lock /var/db/dhclient.leases.wlan0: Bad file descriptor

[David Wolfskill]

This was head @r313544; previous successful build/smoke test was
@r313467 (yesterday).

Here's an excerpt from a typescript I made of some "poking around";
subsequent to that, I was able to set the IP address, netmask, and
broadcast address on the NIC (wlano), then set the default route, and
once that was done, I was able to use the network:

wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:24:d6:7a:03:ce

Moving /var/db/dhclient.leases.wlan0 aside did not change the behavior.

Stable/11 shows the iwn(4) device as:
g1-252(11.0-S)[4] pciconf -lv | grep -A 3 iwn
iwn0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x13218086 chip=0x42328086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'WiFi Link 5100'
    class      = network
g1-252(11.0-S)[5] 

File system for /var is a fairly vanilla UFS2+SU.  I suppose I could have
tried ktrace (had I thought of it before switching back to the stable/11
slice).

Peace,

How could one possibly "respect" a misogynist, racist, bullying con-man??!?
