I have some somewhat stale changes to effect a more unified way of setting up interfaces (including a function that completely sets up an arbitrary interface). The patch can be found at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/dhcp.patch. This patch actually uses 1 dhclient for all the interfaces, but it could be easily changed to use 1 dhclient for each interface. > Warner -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
