/etc/rc.network takes care to gather up all the DHCP interfaces to pass to a single dhclient program. /etc/pccard_ether on the other hand expects to run a separate dhclient for each interface, carefully storing their pids in different files. I have a laptop with a built-in interface and a wireless card. dhclient runs for the built-in interface from /etc/rc.network, but when /etc/pccard_ether tries to run it for the wireless card it gets "can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use". I can see why this happens, but clearly /etc/pccard_ether expects to be able to run multiple dhclients. How is this meant to work? -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
