I recently built a new box with two nics, one a Kingston 10/00 (dc0) on the inside, the other an old 3Com 10 (xl0) base t card on the outside to dsl. Boot up hangs when starting sendmail. Hmm. Ctrl-c to speed things along. Then I notice that ifconfig -a tells me that dc0: [snip] status: no carrier. Yucky. ping 192.168.1.1 (the ip married to dc0). Brings it up. It's a brand new nic (actually, 6 months old, but never been used). I assume that sendmail is hanging because the nic is down. It seems to hang in perpetuity. Any hints on how to resolve this? I wrote a little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to ping dc0 once & bring it up, and I can disable sendmail in rc.conf & invoke it after my ping script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, but I am wondering if others have had similar experiences, and if there's some other, better, less hacky fix, or if I should just replace the f*ing nic.
