Is this a problem, if yes how to change > media? My minimal install doesn't even have man ifconfig. Use the media parameter with ifconfig. See man ifconfig(8), and man xl(4) for valid media types. e.g. you might use something like this in your /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_xl0="inet 10.*.*.* netmask 0xffffff00 media 10base2/BNC" Rich.
