This is *NOT* a problem with your system, this is the way it works. I=20
believe it to be broken, but have not gotten around to doing anything
about it yet.
My setup includes a machine with a wavelan PCMCIA card that is started
so late in the system boot that named does not attach to it's interface.
My fix (since other interfaces were working OK) was to modify=20
/etc/pccard.conf as follows for that interface:
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi0" ?
insert echo WaveLAN/IEEE inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether wi0 10.100.100.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
insert (sleep 10 && /usr/sbin/ndc restart)
remove echo WaveLAN/IEEE removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig wi0 delete 10.100.100.10
Note that the sleep 10 is requred so that named is not mugged during it's
startup during boot.
