Thus all you're doing with those lines is setting 'ifconfig_dcX' to the value "DHCP" and then immediately resetting it to the value "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex". On recent FreeBSD 6.x you can just combine the lines: ifconfig_dc0=3D"DHCP media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" (I can't remember if that also works on 5.x -- you'll need to read /etc/network.subr to find out). In any case, and certainly for older FreeBSD versions you can always create a /etc/start_if.dc0 script, which will be run immediately before the ifconfig(8) command generated out of /etc/rc.conf. In your case, the script should look like: #!/bin/sh ifconfig dc0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex but you can put any arbitrary commands in there that you want. Ditto for the dc1 interface, except call the script /etc/start_if.dc1 (if that isn't bleedingly obvious...) There are corresponding /etc/stop_if.XXN scripts that can be created to do arbitrary stuff on interface shutdown as well.
