Now after an upgrade to 4.10-release this doesn't work anymore. When I put both lines in rc.conf only the second line is effective and overrides the first, but I want to use both DHCP and 100BaseTX. I need to use the "media autoselect" because the networkcard defaults to 10BaseT but I want to use 100Mbit. When I don't use DHCP the network is unreachable. Pinging then gives a "no route to host". How do I solve this problem? Marco -- Sweater, n.: A garment worn by a child when its mother feels chilly.
