No errors in this file. However it's interesting that (if I remember the thread so far) you reported the disappearing of a network interface with two different devices... however, there's something strange about the message: when I try to run dhclient for a network interface that does not exist on my system, I get this: # dhclient fxp0 ifconfig: interface fxp0 does not exist fxp0: not found exiting. Note the ifconfig-related line. And if you run "ifconfig -a" and the interface _is_ listed, this makes the whole thing even more strange... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
