But I am still puzzled about where the information is being stored. Also I would like to know so that I could just change a line or two in a conf file instead of having to run sysinstall. Re: ifconfig -a: It works wonderfully. Tells me everything I could want to know (except where the darn configuration is being stored. :]) - Carl -----Original Message----- From: Linh Pham [SMTP:lplist@q.closedsrc.org] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2000 8:55 AM To: Carl Strickler Cc: 'Edhi Nugroho'; 'freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' Subject: RE: Changing NIC Configuration Were you able to change the NIC configuration of the card using /stand/sysinstall (as I mentioned in my past e-mail)? Normally any NIC changes under sysinstall should be reflected in /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf only contains the bear defaults and you should be making changes in /etc/rc.conf the fxp interface isn't coming up when you do a ``ifconfig -a''? // Linh Pham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
