Hi I noticed something that confuses me. During system startup and the rc.d/ sequence, I get the following message: bge0: link state changed to DOWN To diagnose this, I put an 'ifconfig bge0' at the beginning of the first rc.d script that is executed, and indeed that triggered the message. During normal startup, the message appears during interface configuration, but the link goes then back up almost immediately, so this this this has no negative impact on startup. The short time it takes from going DOWN and then back UP has the possibility to confuse rc.d/ scripts that try to check whether an interface has a carrier by looking at the output of ifconfig bge0. Is what I described above normal? Does it happen with other drivers too? Or did I find a bug? I'll try to check with -current as soon as I can install it on this machine. I am using FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #15: Tue Jan 31 21:25:42 CET 2006 Thanks, Tobias
