I have an interesting issue. I have a wireless card (using the FreeBSD box as a base station), and want to run various services (dhcpd, named) bound to that interface. By default it seems the boot process gets to those items before the pccard code has made 'wi0' available, so those services don't know to bind to the port. Killing and restarting the services works fine.
I fixed dhcpd by adding a 'sleep 30' it it's startup script, but that's a temporary hack. What I really want to do is delay the boot process early on to wait for the wireless card to come up. I suspect this hits a few people, so I thought it would be worth exploring a generic method to tell pccard "these cards are perminantly installed, let's wait early in the boot for them to be configured by the system." If you've got an idea, I'd love to hear it. If I can make something work I'll send patches back. -- Leo Bicknell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
