Hi,
I have upgraded the machine recently and the interface was not seen at boot time as before.
AMD620:///home/erich (root) > uname -a
FreeBSD AMD620.ovitrap.com 8.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.3-PRERELEASE #31: Thu Mar 8 18:29:47 WIT 2012 erich@AMD620.ovitrap.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AsusAMD620 amd64
I am not able to tell when the problem came up again as I use this stick only when I am at the client's side.
Erich
