What version of FreeBSD are you using? Since the 3.x releases, defaults for rc.conf are kept in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, while overrides are kept in /etc/rc.conf. Which rc.conf are you changing? If this doesn't work when manually configured, it certainly won't work from scripts. What is the output of 'dmesg'? -Charlie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
