I'm a developer of the FreeSBIE project (just another FreeBSD-on-a-live-cd project). As default network configuration, we've reasonally chosen a dhcp configuration, which is great on a dhcp network, but ugly when it has to wait for timeout. I also had the same problem with my mobile-pc, when it's not attached to my LAN. We could modify rc.network by adding a & to the dhclient row, but we are looking for a more efficient way. Can an optional flag be added (configurable in rc.conf)? Thanks in advance, Dario -- Dario Freni SaturNero @ IRCNet, Azzurra IRC Network GPG Public key at http://www.saturnero.net/saturnero.asc --=..3/bBwLobqE4z, Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+HqSEZ1XqWj1OqUERAqA4AKDGM6pENIpF67CyshR7o2z+RPElaQCfR/+Y vGNBRX4LFWeVfaY1cmnNZ4A= =iD8M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=..3/bBwLobqE4z,-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
