I also had many problems with de0 driver wrt. to the media switching when the cable was pulled out. I used the following kludge: I run the script, which would check every 5 minutes if I can see the router, if not - I'd do ifconfig de0 down/up to force it to check the media; if it's ok, the script would sleep the next 5 min. I know it's ugly, but it works. Sincerely yours, --- Andrzej Bialecki FreeBSD: Turning PCs Into Workstations <abial@warman.org.pl> http://www.freebsd.org Research and Academic Network in Poland
