Otherwise newbies like me will give potentially wrong/deadly answers such as this one: edit or create the file rc.local in your /etc dir... I'm pretty sure this is the last of the start up scripts to be executed... put your 'ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP' instruction there and will be executed at boot time. hope that helps. I'm replying to you and to freebsd-questions, so if this answer is really bad, someone's likely to catch the error and inform you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Juan Yanez To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.org Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 1999 7:35 PM Subject: de0 link down: cable problem? Howdy, I have a DEC NIC card instled on my system. Every time that I reboot it gives me the message: de0 link down: cable problem? and I have to type: ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP to get rid of the problem. Is there any way I could load this instruction to a start up file so that the command is executed every time automatically when the system reboots?
