Hello, I've updated in a VMWare a 7.0-RELEASE to CURRENT exactly as described in the handbook, i.e. following the procedure in 24.7 Rebuilding "world"; after having up the VM again, network was not coming up and it took me some minutes to realize that the interface name changed from 'le0' to 'le1': Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: <AMD PCnet-PCI> port 0x2000-0x207f irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci2 Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: 16 receive buffers, 4 transmit buffers Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:29:78:48:c6 Mar 23 14:28:40 vm-naranja kernel: le0: [ITHREAD] Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: <AMD PCnet-PCI> port 0x2000-0x207f irq 19 at device 1.0 on pci2 Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: 16 receive buffers, 4 transmit buffers Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: Ethernet address: 00:0c:29:78:48:c6 Mar 24 09:13:39 vm-naranja kernel: le1: [ITHREAD] I changed the name in rc.conf and all was fine again; but what could have caused this change? there is no le0 anymore, only le1 and the config of the VM was not changed, not even powered-off? matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/
