questions about (system) dhclient

[Robert Huff]

	[Please keep me CC'd as I am not subscribed.  Thanks.]

	I have a system, running r263263, where dhclient is misbehaving.  (Yes 
- this is CURRENT, but I have no reason to believe this inherently a 
version-specific issue.  I am also on current@, and nothing like this 
has been reported.)
	The system has an Intel Pro/1000 ethernet card, "em0", connected to a 
Arris CM820 cable modem.
	This is the relevant portion of dhclient.conf:

http://users.rcn.com/dhclient.conf

	Upon execution, I get this:

http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhcp_offer

	but then:

http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhc_ifconfig

	"netstat -r" also shows no gateway.

	However, when I look at dhclient.leases:

http://users.rcn.com/roberthuff/dhclient.leases.em0

	I get the machine working by configuring the relevant data manually.

	I have no idea where to start trying to figure this out; this have 
"just worked" for so long.
	Help please?

	Respectfully,
