I've build fresh world and then kernel (GENERIC configuration), I also removed everything from rc.conf except host name assignment, and ifconfig_re0=3D"DHCP". I have still same effect as described before. Booting without ethernet cable will prevent me to get link "status: active" on em(4), when I try to use it later. GENERIC from FreeBSD 7.0 CD installation works fine. I checked it again. I can boot without cable in my NIC, "try" to assign an IP using DHCP and then plug the cable in and I have link. Is there a difference how /etc/rc.d/netif handles a NIC with DHCP and how the installation CD is handling it? Once again, steps to reproduce this behavior: 1) Power the laptop OFF. Really OFF, I mean. No reboots! 2) Detach the cable from NIC. 3) Boot FreeBSD. Let it pass the DHCP phase (ifconfig_em0=3D"DHCP") until login appears. 4) Attach the cable to the NIC. 5) Voila... no link. -- Martin --Sig_/esRl4snTvCxpcWxbMIpGkGw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkiXI/oACgkQC3yNaKlBCg0O6QCfRK2Zq9XlqE43ruF9oynHfonr b9sAn3LunNiL9XWS8wmwv6vLhp7QCUIY =555O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/esRl4snTvCxpcWxbMIpGkGw--
