Martin Blapp 636a538d15 Enable dhclient to poll the interface state and send only
requests if the interface has an active link. This is a
great benefit if you often change networks with your laptop
and you do not like to kill/restart dhclient all the time.

Enable dhclient to poll the interface state and send only
requests if the interface has an active link. This is a
great benefit if you often change networks with your laptop
and you do not like to kill/restart dhclient all the time.
Changes are automatically detected and the link is refreshed.

The change allows us to start dhclient in background mode
while the network cable is not plugged in.

To control the polling interval, the option -i has been
introduced. It takes seconds as parameter, the minimum is
one second, the default is five seconds.

Polling is done in seconds, not microseconds, because dhclient
does internally work with timeouts in seconds.

This change will be part of the next major ISC-dhcpd release.

Tested by:	bms, imp, and many many others.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
