I mistakenly put the configuration commands for my wireless card in /etc/rc.conf instead of creating and using /etc/start_if.wi0 for the ifconfig commands solved the problem. Still clueless about getting the Firewire CD R/W to work though.... ----Original Message Follows---- From: Chris Howells To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 5.1R, cron job "system-entropy" sending error email every 11minutes Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 21:30:11 +0000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Monday 12 January 2004 20:33, Doug Carter wrote: > What is further odd is that these commands work fine when the system boots > and if I execute them from my shell. /sbin isn't in $PATH. Run /sbin/ifconfig, rather than just ifconfig, or as another poster said, add /sbin to $PATH.
