https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246506 Bug ID: 246506 Summary: rc.d scripts for lagg and devmatch are misordered at startup Product: Base System Version: 12.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cperciva@FreeBSD.org The devmatch rc.d script now automatically loads kernel modules -- thank you Warner! -- which makes configuring wifi adapters much easier. However: The devmatch rc.d script runs very late in the boot process, which makes it incompatible with using lagg to switch automatically between wired and wireless networks (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-aggregation.html#networking-lagg-wired-and-wireless) -- if you try, you find that when lagg is created by /etc/rc.d/netif, it can't attach the wifi adapter because said adapter doesn't have a driver loaded yet. A workaround for this is "load the kernel modules via loader.conf and don't rely on devmatch", but that's not the most user-friendly option. A better fix might be to have lagg interfaces get created later in the boot process; that might be problematic if devmatch needs a working network for some reason. I'm not sure why devmatch runs so late. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
