So what you are saying is that there _is not_ any way to perform multiple pccard_ifconfig statements solely in /etc/rc.conf ? I feel that defining it in /etc/rc.conf is more elegant, and am surprised that it was built to work with one card but will not work with another one. btw, as I successfully use pccard_ifconfig for ep0, I note that I do not have a line in pccard.conf for ep0 (or for wi0) - both of these cards work fine out of rc.conf without entries in pccard.conf - just _not at the same time_, as you know. thanks for the example - LT >From: "Michael C .
