      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.

                the new dhclient is working great !
                but i have found small bug, under Interfaces my wan says DHCP : down
                like this:
                –-----------------------
                WAN interface (rl0) 
                Status up 
                DHCP down   
                MAC address 00:0a:cd:11:ef:fa 
                Media 100baseTX <full-duplex> 
                In/out packets 88231/110810 (21.17 MB/32.31 MB) 
                In/out errors 0/0 
                Collisions 0

                keep up the good work !</full-duplex>

                  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

                      Setting CVS_IP to cvs.pfsense.com
                      Syncing with pfSense.com
                      Checking out RELENG_1
                      Connected to cvs.pfsense.com
                      Updating collection pfSenseHEAD/cvs
                      Rsync CVSROOT/history
                      Edit pfSense/etc/inc/service-utils.inc,v
                      Create pfSense/usr/local/bin/php,v

                      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.

                                          Great!  That's 3-4 people that is now fixed.  FreeBSD REALLY needs to take a look at their dhclient.  It's obvious that it's subpar to ISC's.

                                          Anyone else?

                                          Merry Xmas and happy holidays!

                                            Just updated to the latest cvs… No issue for 2 days. I think the right spot was hit ;)

                                            Happy holidays and again - big thanks for the great work!
