Hi,

When setting up Openvpn in bridged mode, openvpn is unable to configure
the tap interface on the client for dhcp from the remote LAN.

Server:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
server-bridge
push "route-gateway 192.168.1.1"
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
client-to-client
...

Client:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

up /etc/openvpn/dhcp.sh
down /etc/openvpn/dhcp.sh
...

dhcp.sh:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# 
[ -x /sbin/dhclient] || exit 0

case $script_type in

up)
	dhclient -v "${dev}"
	;;
down)
	dhclient -r "${dev}"
	;;
esac

dhclient attempts to configure tap interface on client but eventually
times out.

Errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
