X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 05 Dec 2004 10:16:05 -0000 I have a laptop and usually want to connect wirelessly to the Internet. However, once in awhile I also want to connect it directly via Ethernet by physically hooking into my home network. In the rc.conf file I have both the ifconfig_xl0 and ifconfig_wi0 statements present. When I am mobile this does not present a problem and my laptop starts up nicely. However, if I startup the laptop when I am not connected to the Ethernet, the startup hangs for 2 minutes before continuing. When I comment out or remove the line containing the ifconfig_xl0 statement the startup is quick like it should be. How can I have both statements enabled so that it will automatically choose the right connection on startup without having it do a hiccup for two minutes when I am on the move, e.g. wireless? Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------------------------------- Kiffin Gouda, The Netherlands
