You can either bring temporarily down the interface of the card, or bring it down and clear any user-defined parameters. The commands for this are: # ifconfig -au This will show you the currently active interfaces. You have to pick the right one, and then issue: # ifconfig ifaceN down where ifaceN is the name of the interface. You have to replace `ifaceN' with the actual name of your interface for this to work, i.e. replace `ifaceN' with `ed0', `fxp0', `xl0', etc. Note that if you 'ifconfig down' an interface, you can later 'ifconfig up' it and it will still work, having the same parameters. This is nice for temporarily bringing down the interface, without having to rerun /etc/rc.network to bring it up. If you just want to wipe this interface clean, and reconfigure it manually (which I'm almost certain you are not up to now), you can replace 'down' with 'delete'. Careful if you use this, because the parameters of the interface (IP address, netmask, etc.) are wiped clean with 'ifconfig delete'. Nevertheless, the command (if that has any practical use to you) is: # ifconfig ifaceN down For all this and more exciting stuff about networking with FreeBSD, see the manual pages networking(4), ifconfig(8), netstat(8), etc. Ciao.
