Remove the semicolon. I don't know if the order of parameters there
matters, but think that the rc scripts just look for the presence of
DHCP.
This just worked in a VM here.
I'm afraid I didn't have the same experience trying that. :(
Out of curiosity, what version did you use? I used the CD
image of 9.0 I downloaded from freebsd.org yesterday.
9.0-RELEASE. The string I have in rc.conf:
ifconfig_le0="ether 80:01:01:01:01:01 DHCP"
dhclient runs, and the MAC address is set to that according to ifconfig
output.
Is it possible that USB Ethernet adapters (or drivers) don't allow
changing the MAC address? Seems silly, but...
