OK. hints are what are set by the isa hints driver. I have a driver that will set these at boot, but it isn't quite ready to be distributed. Your best bet is to put environment variables in /boot/loader.conf. : As to sysctls, not available until after driver loading: I believe : that I need to know, before I reach the end of my attach routine, whether : I'm going to be in a LAN mode or a WAN mode, so I know whether : to do an ether_attach() or an sppp_attach(). So does that rule out : sysctls? Likely. This whole area is really weak in FreeBSD and should be beefed up.
