(Maybe i'm wrong so other readers answers are welcome) I've always used pccardd with default values in rc.conf : pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" or pccard_ifconfig="inet xx.xx.xx.xx. netmask xx.xx.xx.xx" Regards Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
