I tried that, no dice. It appears that the problem is that the interface card isn't initalized yet to accept the ancontrol commands. I had to write a script that sleeps for 5 seconds during boot up, then runs the commands. It just seems that I am missing something, because I would think the start up scripts could handle that.

It was the power saving mode, which Louis A. Mamakos (thanks again!) was ale to help me with. The whole boot up thing still boggles me though... ------ Eric Parker Network Engineer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
