Description

After upgrading from 5.4 -> 5.4.1 an ifconfig directive long used in /etc/rc.conf no longer works.

ifconfig_xxx="DHCP"
ifconfig_xxx_alias0="link 00.11.22.33.44.55"

The alias link directive allows easily changing network cards on local machines which receive DHCP addresses based on mac address, without requiring changes to dhcpd.conf on router. However, after upgrading to 5.4.1 the directive no longer changes the mac address, causing machines to receive a different IP address from the router than what is expected by NSD and other machines on network.
