Thanks Chuck for getting back.

So, if my system has 4 interfaces: em0, iwn0, fwp0, wlan0 Does the above mean following? ifconfig_em0="AUTO" ifconfig_iwn0="AUTO" ifconfig_fwp0="AUTO" ifconfig_wlan0="AUTO" Also, if we say an interface is auto configured, it needs some sort of configuration to "auto-configure" it with, right? i.e. for em0 something like: ifconfig_em0="DHCP" Thanks, Hiren
