I think this cannot be : the considered solution for that problem? : : What am I missing about the concept of devd? devd works for me when I have devices in my machine at boot. It does run the start script for me. I just confirmed this on my machine. I put my wi card in, booted and it picked up a dhcp address. What script are you trying to run? What does your configuration file look like? Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
