      Unfortunately we are using the same dhclient that we used prior to 1.0.  So nothing has changed in this regard.

      But I do have an idea.  Give me some moments, I would like to test ISC-DHCLIENT again and see how much work it's going to be to dump the OpenBSD dhclient that FreeBSD imported.

        Thx alot. Due to the workaround I've got plenty of time now. Please let me know when there's something I can contribute / test in order to help.
        I'll watch this thread anyway.

        Cheers

          From a shell, issue this command (full installations only!):

          fetch -q -o - http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/tools/cvs_sync.sh | sh

          Sit back and let it do it's thing.

          After it is done, issue shutdown -r now or reboot from the webConfigurator or option #5.

              You can cancel your upgrade for now. We found some remaining issues with the new dhclient (some things still have to be changed due to different syntax). It's working on reboot though. We'll test some more things later and post when we have a new version to try.

                  Everything should be working.  We really need ppl to test Optional WAN + DHCP more than anything at this point.  We are using the same code for dhclient as m0n0 1.3b1 now so I think it is correct.

                      Yes, rerun the command I mentioned prior.

                          i just noticed a very good thing, it looks like with the new dhclient, the OpenVPN problem with "address in use" issue is fixed ! at least on my pfsense !

                            Yeah, we are aware of this issue.  Should be fixed rather soon.  Just keep running that command every 12 hours or so and you will have the latest code.  But don't run the command unattended (from cron).

                              Just tried to fetch the newest cvs several times but always got stuck with:

                              fetch -q -o - http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/tools/cvs_sync.sh | sh

                              Any advice?

                                Your being impatient.  Let it go… It is still processing php which is every php change ever and is quite large.

                                    Please run the command again.  All known issues hopefully are solved.

                                      NOTE: you WILL need to reboot afterwards.

                                      Please run again, I just fixed a few more bugs.

                                          Good.  Others please test.  A new snapshot will be uploaded in a couple hours.
