http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs/en/books/faq/networking.html#CREATE-DEV-NET I'm stumbling thru an install of freeBSD and I came across what looked like a helpful FAQ response. Following it's instructions, I found that rc.network is *not* where you make these changes, but rather /etc/defaults/rc.conf. Of course, /etc/rc.network says not to edit it without telling someone about it. /etc/defaults/rc.conf says not to edit it, but instead the specific rc.* file needed. All I really want is to create an interface to bind my PC card NIC to. This may be more UNIX than linux -- I'll grant that -- but does it have to be this obfuscated? I'm used to a simple direct syntax like ifconfig ed0 192.168.2.6 up. Is that not possible here?
