I have two identical d-links on a 4.4 stable box, here is the dmesg for the one that hung in there: rl0: port 0xa400-0xa4ff mem 0xea000000-0xea0000ff irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 Pretty standard. The other one was there yesterday as rl1. But I'm trying to configure the box as an IDS so I slapped a 0.0.0.0 IP address on it and, when that didn't work, I tried 1.1.1.1 (thinking 0.0.0.0 was illegal and 1.1.1.1 was just fake). Now in rc.conf I see: # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Thu Jan 31 17:56:08 2002 ifconfig_rl1="inet 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" but if I uncomment the line i get errors since the machine can no longer find the interface. I tried to plumb/create it and some other ifconfig tom foolery but no good. /stand/sysinstall can't see it either. Does anyone know how to get my poor lost dlink back? And is there a way to set an interface to sniff with no IP or with an IP that isn't reachable on your network? Thanx for anything... ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
