>Description:
Now, easiest way to use more than one pccard network cards is to define
pccardd_flags="-z"
ifconfig_pccard_INTERFACE1="OPTIONS"
ifconfig_pccard_INTERFACE2="OPTIONS"
...
in rc.conf.
But in this way, ifconfig(3) will be called twice,
first from pccard_ether, and then from rc.network.
So if someone wants to use DHCP for one interface and,
don't want for other one,
pccard_ether will call dhclient for the interface,
and rc.network will call it again.
This may cause DHCP failure, and configuration will be reseted.
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert two pccard network cards and put
pccardd_flags="-z"
ifconfig_pccard_INTERFACE1="OPTIONS"
ifconfig_pccard_INTERFACE2="DHCP"
into rc.conf.
>Fix:
define
pccard_ifconfig_INTERFACE="OPTIONS"
in rc.conf
