      We upgraded to 2.1-BETA0 (i386) built on Thu Sep 13 21:17:01 EDT 2012 and now we are receiving the following error on DHCPD service start…

      Sep 14 10:14:32 dhcpd: ^

      When looking in the /var/dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf file, I see the following entry...

      class "" {
              match if substring (hardware, 1, 1) = ;
      }

      I'm assuming this is a bug since it wasn't there before the upgrade.

        See the other forum post on this: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,53647.0.html
        JimP's latest commit should have fixed it.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
