I solution was to > cd /usr/src/etc/rc.d && make install Well, I did what the previous poster suggested, and upon reboot, it still didn't come up. I ran /etc/rc.d/netif manually, and it said it couldn't find /etc/network.subr, so I copied that over manually, rebooted, and the interfaces still didn't start. But, if I run /etc/rc.d/netif manually, it starts just fine now! Yes, the file has execute permissions for all. Anyone know what's up with that? Can anyone give me the rundown on how/what FreeBSD does at boot time to start the network interface? Maybe something is supposed to be running that script, but isn't? Another missing script? Thanks, --Charlie
