The best way would be like this: card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE" config 0x1 "wi" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start insert sh /etc/setup_wi remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete /etc/setup_wi is a shell script that does whatever setup I wish to do to the card. Of course, I am lazy, but you can do the same thing for remove, before the $device stop. Such as shutting down your VPN and things like that. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@iteration.net | keichii@freebsd.org | | http://iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
