On recent FreeBSD, the devices should be created automatically if the hardware they support is present. What device exactly are you trying to create? Im trying to create carp pseudo device. In rc.conf, I can simply configure it using ifconfig, however only after the device have been created. So manually I would say: ifconfig carp create ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass mypasswd ipaddress something like that... --------------------------------- Yahoo!
