If network_interfaces is left unspecified, the scripts will use 'ifconfig -l' and everything is fine provided all the interfaces were already attached (i.e. the drivers were compiled into the kernel or listed in loader.conf). This is the common case. However, if the driver wasn't already loaded for some reason, network_interfaces + ifconfig_foo0 will take care of it. Without network_interfaces, we lose this functionality, for no benefit at all to anyone. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
