After it failed, I tried to manually specify it, but to no avail. Looking at the debug screen, it said the interface had gone down. It was an Intel NIC. Has anyone else seen this behaviour ? I have another machine to put together with the same hardware later this week and I will see if I can repeat the problem consistently. ---Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
