However, I am not interested in dumping money into this as its not my machine. I did some reading on freebsd-update and there is a rollback option. I tried it. It works. I got back to a working 9.1 system that has working NICs. I then did an upgrade to 9.3 which continued to work. Then I did an upgrade to 11.0-RC2. Once again, no network interfaces. There is something amiss with the i386 networking. I am going to rollback again so that I can try the next release unless someone has some ideas on how to debug this situation. 1. Time is money. If one rollback, two upgrades, and troubleshooting as yet to be determined costs less than $20, your labor rate is too low. 2. Having everything on one drive is going to complicate taking an image of the OS, applications, and configuration settings for disaster recovery purposes and complicate replicating the data for redundancy purposes.
