Whould you be kind > enough to point me some documentation or tutorial about doing this task? Does your 'dmesg' output tell you that there was a ed0 found during boot? You may need to load a module or build your kernel. Ed0 is compiled into the GENERIC kernel so you should be good to go. You will need to edit /etc/rc.conf to make your interface show up on boot. Grab the pertinent lines out of /etc/defaults/rc.conf. You could always ifconfig your interface manually too, but what fun is that? :) Thank you, Jason C.
