Example rc.conf please? X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 20:28:09 -0000 An odd problem: I'm using a Linksys PCM100 PCMCIA network card on my laptop. Works fine in Windows. It's on the FreeBSD approved hardware list. When I install FreeBSD 4.8 from the CD-Rom, it detects it, and I configure it. (Which yes I know how to do. I do it all the time for regular installs.) But - when the laptop boots up, it doesn't seem to see the card. No route to host, etc. I wonder if this has to do with the PCMCIA abilities being turned on in the rc.conf *after* it's given the hostname, route, IP, etc? I'm just using the absolute default settings, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. (I haven't done anything yet!) Just wondering if those of you with PCMCIA network cards could offer some advice or maybe your /etc/rc.conf file as an example?
