After a few snafus, its up and running. Then i learned that my Cardbus nic wasn't supported so I threw in a 10-base pcmcia nic. The new (or old as the case may be) nic works fine, it just initializes after I'm presented with a login prompt and does not get a dhcp address. If I run dhclient (which I dont really know how to do properly) I get an address fine but get all sorts of IPv6 errors (not supported) output to the screen for the duration of the system's uptime. Can someone point me in the right direction (or blatantly tell me if you feel like it), on how to initialize the card earlier so that it gets an address without having to run dhclient? Or let me know the proper usage of running dhclient? My rc.conf file has the interface defined as dhcp. thanks, To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
