Hi Diana,

This sounds very similar to the issues I've had in the past with two
different systems with sis(4)-chips in them (see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=110132503025407&w=2 for
my post on this subject). As I never use these NICs (I added an fxp(4)
to the machine with the onboard sis and I only use my wi(4) card in my
laptop) it's not a big deal for me. But I do occasionaly test sis(4)
on the laptop with newer snapshots and I still have the same problems
(easily identified by the errors dhclient throws at me concerning :
"ip length <X> disagrees with bytes received <X+4>")

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
