Perhaps, I'm not the only person who use it. :) I'm not sure the static routing stuff should exist at all. It's certainly using undocumented variables and without profile.sh type probing the current support is pretty much useless for removable interfaces. The IPv6 interface configuration really needs to move into /etc/rc.d/netif. Overall I think /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 needs to die if IPv6 is ever going to be anything by a second class citizen in the startup scripts. My goal is to do away with /etc/pccard_ether in some future release, but it's go functionality I can't replace yet. How would you feel about a forcestart option as a compromise for now? That would override both the AUTO check and the up check. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
