I'm probably just not seeing the clean way of doing this. I've got a machine on the DHCP required network with two NICs. Currently I'm only using one of them and thus don't have it listed in ``network_interfaces''. So it just happily sits there. IMHO we shouldn't try to dhcp configure it. It will just fill up logs as it continues to try to get a lease which it can't. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
