 Hello,
 
 Without looking at any details so far; How come I do the very same to
 configure my DHCP interface (Adsl line) and dont get the same error?
 
 Cheers

 Hi,
 
 
 The -n flag was added to dhclient-script on rev 1.17 but has not been
 committed to the 6.x branch at all. You can check which version of the
 sources you have with the command 'ident /sbin/dhclient-script', I would
 expect it to say '$FreeBSD: src/sbin/dhclient/dhclient-script,v 1.4.2.4'

State-Changed-Why:  
The 'ifconfig -n' changes were not merged to sbin/dhclient/dhclient-script 
until after 6.2 was branched (r1.4.2.5), this is a case of out of sync sources.
