nmbd service possible race condition

Greetings -

Recently upgraded to 11.3-RELEASE-p11 from 11

It appears as if nmbd service has a race condition where a network discovery packet is set before networking is available.
As a result, SMB is available via direct IP, however the "Windows Discovery" system doesnt work, or if clients refernce the netbios name, it doesnt resolve/register.

Here it appears as if something in the networking stack prevents the server from sending out the broadcast packets to the network. From what I could see, there is no firewall or anything blocking such traffic.

If I turn my attention to the /var/log/messages file, I note this :

Aug 19 20:39:54 tvseries kernel: bge0: link state changed to UP
Aug 19 20:39:54 tvseries kernel: bge0: link state changed to UP

If we note the difference in time stamps, the nmbd service started at 20:39:53 when we notice the networking service only broadcasted it was ready a second later at 20:39:54.

Restarting the nmbd service totaly resolved the issue:

service nmbd stop
service nmbd start

Returning to check /var/log/samba4/log.nmbd

This response was from IP 192.168.1.190, reporting an IP address of 192.168.1.190.

It should be noted that host .190 has a configueration of preferred master = yes, and I would expect it to act as the master in this deloyment.

I am rubbish at FreeBSD, so I am unsure where I can check this kind of service dependancy.

Thanks!
