Re: Comcast/@Home cable modems with OpenBSD

This is what you need to do.  set your external interface to dhcp and add an
entry similer to this in your /etc/dhclient.conf

initial-interval 1;
send host-name "CJ2323-WHATEVER";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers,
       domain-name,  host-name, domain-name-servers;

if you do that you'll be kosher.  john pointed that out to me, so thank him.
