I have two USB devices: run0/wlan0 - a wireless nic ue0 - a wired nic In my rc.conf I have these set up to lagg - (note that this is done from memory and may not be exact): # ether address also set up here ifconfig_ue0="up" wlans_ue0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport ue0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" This behaves as expected when both devices are plugged in. However, when either the ue0 or wlan0 device is removed the link goes down. In addition, if the device is reinserted I need to re-run "service netif start" before the link returns. It would be nice if removing the either nic failed over to the other one without additional work. Is there a way I can set up these devices to properly failover and return on device removal and insertion? Please CC me as I am not subscribed. -- Eitan Adler
