I have an older PC (Compaq AP200) that I'm running FreeBSD-6.0 on. I have an Intel Gigabit interface installed in one of the PCI slots, along with another dual 10/100 Intel in another. The "em0" device does not show up at boot time, and therefore the firewall rules fail. However, if I go in and manually type "ifconfig em0" it then becomes available and I'm able to run dhclient on it, etc. etc. I just did a buildworld/installworld today, so the OS is fairly current. In /etc/rc.conf I have a simple ifconfig_em0="DHCP". I wonder if this is a known problem...
