Hello, I have a machine with the following ethernet PCI card: ed0: <RealTek 8029> port 0xdc00-0xdc1f irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 ed0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ed0: Ethernet address: 00:50:bf:27:ba:24 ed0: [ITHREAD] It's rather an ancient card, and it worked on FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE (and several previous versions) with the line: ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf. I upgraded this machine to 8.0-BETA3, and ed0 does not get an IP anymore at boot time! Running `dhclient ed0' manually is working, and then everything is OK. Well, I know that this device could be deprecated, but I'm sure it is still running in many machines... If I replace it by a newer card, e.g. rl0: <RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xfbeffc00-0xfbeffcff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 miibus1: <MII bus> on rl0 rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> PHY 0 on miibus1 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto rl0: Ethernet address: 00:17:3f:d2:51:4c rl0: [ITHREAD] and replacing s/ed0/rl0/ in /etc/rc.conf, everything is working. Strange, is'nt it? -- Th. Thomas.
