The only cases I know of where this can happen are Intel wireless cards. That can be fixed by having the ports install theirs scripts in a better place. At this point, all network devices should be up well before localpkg is run. That said, they days of programs that can't handle not having an address at startup are numbered. > o exim starts before spamassassin daemon This requires adding rcorder to localpkg. Apparently dougb has plans in this area. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
