Hi, I'd like to use both ethernet and wlan, whichever is available, with my laptop. In many cases I prefer wlan at home as I'm not tethered and performance is good enough. However, in some cases I prefer to connect to a switch via ethernet to have faster connection to a desktop PC. I followed these instructions: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html Specifically, I use the rc.conf entries mentioned in the box at the very bottom on the page, except that my ethernet interface is re0 instead of bge0. The lagg module is loaded during boot using an appropriate entry in /boot/loader.conf. Things almost work: boot with ethernet plugged in, ethernet still in: connected via ethernet boot with ethernet plugged in, ethernet out: connected via wlan boot with ethernet unplugged, ethernet still out: connected via wlan boot with ethernet unplugged, ethernet in: no connection What bothers me is the last scenario: this would force me to boot with ethernet plugged in whenever I intend to use ethernet in the same session. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way to fix this? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38
