Hi, I'm trying to get my -STABLE box to automatically use an ifconfig media directive when it boots and obtains an address using dhclient. In order to get the machine to work correctly, after it boots, I have to explicitly say: ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX I'd like to automate this process. The interface gets its address using dhclient. I thought I'd specify the media using the media directive in dhclient.conf. Here's the dhclient.conf I used: interface "rl0" { media "media 100baseTX"; } Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have any effect. The interface comes up "media: Ethernet autoselect (none)". What's the correct way to get this to work? Obviously I can just add the change after the interface comes up, but I'd like to do it the Right way.
