But before I can get IP address on my ue0 interface with dhclient, I need to power up and configure the GSM modem. At the moment I'm doing it by hand with cu(1) utility. How can I get it automated so that ue0 is running right after system startup? I know I can make a custom shell script but is there a proper way of doing it? Does the system provides some configuration mechanism at system startup time? Michael
