Because network_interfaces provides no useful functionality and needless added complexity. If you want an interface to be configured, set an ifconfig_<foo> variable and make sure the interface exists by the time rc.d/netif is run (by configuring your kernel or /boot/loader.conf correctly) or add it to the appropriate wlans_<bar>, gif_interfaces, cloned_interfaces, etc list. If you don't want it configured make sure there isn't a ifconfig_<foo> variable set. -- Brooks --MfFXiAuoTsnnDAfZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFIcj5aXY6L6fI4GtQRAk79AKCika6nqNJZ5GPwLJE3CAQyl8RDhQCgyW8z LfK+pB1QaLXkNNmQpTjk6Cw= =VOoR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MfFXiAuoTsnnDAfZ--
