I was not able to get this working so I replaced the pccard_ether with a very simple script: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/fa_select ed1 0 /sbin/ifconfig ed1 10.0.0.2 /sbin/route add default 10.0.0.1 I have no idea why the machine is constantly rebooting. Even if the network configuration is absolutely wrong, the machine should stay up. Do you get a message like "Automatic reboot in progress.." as last console message or do you get a crash and reboot like after pressing a reset button ? If you have the reboot message is there any strange message before it, which could indicate what may be wrong in rc.conf ?
