First of all, rc.conf doesn't (yet) contain the definition of
removable_interfaces, which I plan to MFC when the RE gives me
permission.
However, the use of this variable is causing me problems on my laptop.
In particular, I have 3 different different network cards in my laptop,
one built-in, and two external ones.
Unfortunately, I can't easily configure all of them using the old way of
just stating:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 4.3.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_ep1="inet 9.8.7.6 netmask 255.255.255.255"
pccard_ifconfig="NO"
What happens is that in /etc/pccard_ether, it stops on the line:
case ${pccard_ifconfig} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
---> expr "${removable_interfaces}" : ".*${interface}" > /dev/null || exit 0
;;
*)
# Backward compatible
eval ifconfig_${interface}=\${pccard_ifconfig}
;;
I'm not sure what this line is supposed to be doing, but it's causing my
configuration to blow up. If I comment this out, things proceed as
normal and expected.
Am I supposed to be adding 'ed1 and ep1' to 'removable_interfaces'? If
so, why? Any documentation on this would be greatly appreciated!
Nate
