And execute "dhclient ale0", > does it make any difference? Hi, Yes that works. Even better, I think it is fixed for me, I can't explain how though. During the installation and after the installation, a 'dhclient ale0' would throw 'no link' errors, when I yank the cable and put it back in and run 'dhclient ale0' as you suggested, it works. Now for the fun: I changed 'if_ale0="inet 192.168.1.2 "..etc etc. to "if_ale0="dhcp" in /etc/rc.conf, the link comes up normally after a reboot, without yanking cables etc. > It seems you've removed PHY driver related message here. > Show me the output of "devinfo -rv | grep phy".

If you are still interested in the output, knowing my problem is solved, let me know and I will gladly provide you with the information. > > Last time I tried ale(4) it worked as expected.

I see my Intel Wireless is supported too so if you still want to have a look I could give you a login on my laptop over wireless so you can bring the interface up and down, I don't have any secret data here anyway and I doubt you're interested in Dutch music ;-) > I have to say, I am really impressed by the support you people give and gave me so far, thank you very much and I hope my knowledge about FreeBSD and it's internals soon will be sufficient to return the favor to the community.
