If it is found, the script /etc/pccard_ether is run, which configures the IP address, netmask and default route. The pccard_ether script uses the rc.conf variable "pccard_ifconfig". In other words, you should add these lines to /etc/rc.conf: pccard_enable="YES" pccard_conf="/etc/pccard.conf" ===> check this file! pccard_ifconfig="inet <your IP address> netmask <your netmask>" defaultrouter="<your default router>" Hope this helps, -- JMA ****** Jose M.
