Im trying to understand devd.conf. there is a text, wich is: # Try to start dhclient on Ethernet like interfaces when the link comes # up. Only devices that are configured to support DHCP will actually # run it. No link down rule exists because dhclient automaticly exits # when the link goes down. when i unplug the rj45, i dont see dhclient quitting. i have to ifconfig the interface down. only so, dhclient will exit. base in this, if i modify devd.conf and add this line: notify 0 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "type" "LINK_DOWN"; media-type "ethernet"; action "/etc/rc.d/dhclient stop $subsystem"; }; when i unplug the cable it will stop dhclient, but, when i plug the cable in again, devd sees 2 events, the LINK_UP and inmedialy it see a LINK_DOWN, so dhclient is stopped. whats the correct way to configure the ethernet cards? is there a way to make something similar work to wifi card? i.e. when its assisiated with a ssid, run dhclient, and when no carrier, stop it? i have run devd -dD, but it does not seems to get any event from the wifi card. its an intel 2200. thanks in advance, -- Phillip Neumann <pneumann@gmail.com>
