I'm as certain as I can be that dhclient does run. (I would have noticed the absence of an IP address in output from ifconfig wlan0.) So, if /etc/resolv.conf (a) lacked what was required following those things, then (b) was OK following a reboot of the OS: what might be the explanation for (a)? Privately, I received hints such as this: > You can run: > tcpdump -i wlan0 -s 0 -vvv port 67 or 68 > to watch the DHCP dialog and see what your server is sending. -- useful for the future, but I'm now faraway from the home router where FreeBSD behaved strangely.
