It was specifically intended to allow onboard wireless devices to be configured in /etc/rc.conf, but not start until an external trigger occurs. -- Brooks --3uo+9/B/ebqu+fSQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFG+xHCXY6L6fI4GtQRAv81AKDgEeqjW3LzdXNDhHyqZD/hhb2DKwCdHK7q 0cmj5TFNGbXROAOzfe4gFgk= =VLdb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3uo+9/B/ebqu+fSQ--
