Hi,
I'm trying to get my -STABLE box to automatically use an ifconfig media
directive when it boots and obtains an address using dhclient.
In order to get the machine to work correctly, after it boots, I have to
explicitly say:
ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX
I'd like to automate this process. The interface gets its address using
dhclient. I thought I'd specify the media using the media directive in
dhclient.conf. Here's the dhclient.conf I used:
interface "rl0" {
media "media 100baseTX";
}
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have any effect. The interface
comes up "media: Ethernet autoselect (none)". What's the correct way to
get this to work? Obviously I can just add the change after the
interface comes up, but I'd like to do it the Right way.
Thanks,
-Ian
