I have to enter these two commands manually _after_ it completes booting, and all ethernet activities are fine after that. is it possible that during the booting sequence the PC card recognition is too late in the process? Are the rc.conf command line entries "order specific". (I always thought that they are noa)t. Any tips would be appreciated Jim -- FreeBSD questions directly mailto:paz@qcislands.net
