I also had such problem.

There is a typo in /etc/network.subr.
        for _if in ${_tmplist} ; do
                if dhcpif $_if; then
                        _dhcplist="${_dhcplist}${_aprefix}${_if}"
                        [ -z "$_aprefix" ] && _aprefix=' '
                elif [ -n "`_ifconfig_getargs $if`" ]; then
					      ^^^^ - should be $_if

                        _nodhcplist="${_nodhcplist}${_bprefix}${_if}"
                        [ -z "$_bprefix" ] && _bprefix=' '
                fi
