http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs/en/books/faq/networking.html#CREATE-DEV-NET I'm stumbling thru an install of freeBSD and I came across what looked = like a helpful FAQ response. Following it's instructions, I found that = rc.network is *not* where you make these changes, but rather = /etc/defaults/rc.conf.=20 Of course, /etc/rc.network says not to edit it without telling someone = about it. /etc/defaults/rc.conf says not to edit it, but instead the = specific rc.* file needed.=20 All I really want is to create an interface to bind my PC card NIC to. = This may be more UNIX than linux -- I'll grant that -- but does it have = to be this obfuscated?=20 I'm used to a simple direct syntax like ifconfig ed0 192.168.2.6 up. Is = that not possible here?=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
