I installed 5.3-release from CD and things worked fine. Then I updated the system sources (via cvsup) to RELENG_5 and went through {build,install}world/mergemaster/reboot as outlined in /usr/src/UPDATING and now I get no network interfaces configured & no default route set. I've tracked RELENG_4 for years with nothing like this ever happening. Kernel has not been reconfigured (yet), it's still GENERIC, albeit RELENG_5 now. In looking through the rc scripts, it appears that network interface(s) are being renamed but I see no references to this in, say, UPDATING or errara or other documentation. Any ideas? Pointers to documentation are welcome. :) Thanks, -kc
