The docking station has a built in 3com 10/100 network card that works fine with the xl driver. However if I take the computer out of the dock without configuring xl0 down first, it locks up and needs a hard reboot, not such a big problem really. And if I dock the computer after powering it up outside the dock, I don't see the dock network interface without rebooting. My question is, how can I make FreeBSD cope with hot swapping the network card when switching into the dock? Baldur
