Were you able to change the NIC configuration of the card using /stand/sysinstall (as I mentioned in my past e-mail)? Normally any NIC changes under sysinstall should be reflected in /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf only contains the bear defaults and you should be making changes in /etc/rc.conf the fxp interface isn't coming up when you do a ``ifconfig -a''? // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Thu, 13 Jul 2000, Carl Strickler wrote: > What is throwing me about this, and what threw me before was that I have > searched in: > > /etc/rc.conf > /etc/defaults/rc.conf > /etc/host.conf > /etc/hosts > /etc/networks > /etc/rc.network > /etc/rc > and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/FIREWALL (the kernel I'm using) > and there is NOTHING about my NICs.
