X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 08:51:51 -0000 Trivial question, Is there an rc.conf way to mark a network interface as being 'down' at boot time? I could do it with a cron job, or a kernel rebuild, but I thought there'd be some nifty rc.conf syntax. I tried this: ifconfig_bge0="down" The interface is marked as down in the dmesg output, but it's still up when the boot cycle completes. -Modulok-
