Here's the additions I made to /etc/rc.conf: removable_interfaces="ed0" pccard_enable="YES" pccard_flags="-z" pccard_beep="0" ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX" Even with the -z flag, the interface doesn't come up in time to be used by the defaultrouter entry. So I added the route manually, and it's worked ever since. It appears that there are numerous ways to run ifconfig here, but this is the only one that worked for me. Note that the pccard_beep="0" command just turns off the beep on card detection. Oh, and I added the /etc/pccard.conf with a single command: irq 10 because that's the only irq available on my Tecra 8000. The FA411 is in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf, so it should work. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
