Subsequent ignorant Qs ... I replaced what turned out to be a faulty dongle and have networking working like a charm from the Slackware Linux side of my lappy, but cannot for the life of me get the thing working out of FreeBSD. I've edited /etc/rc.conf both by hand and tried to use the /stand/sysinstall utility to get it right. I've got the correct values in /etc/resolv.conf 1) What specifically (if anything) needs to be edited in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf? 'Cause I can't see it through a blinding headache this ongoing problem has caused ... :( What is meant by changing them to 'media foo' options? 2) How do I -get rid of- the lp0 interface which I mistakenly added in /stand/sysinstall, thinking it was 'loopback'? 3) Why do my routing tables (as viewed with netstat -nr) steadfastly refuse to be populated with the right stuff?
