I think network_interfaces and the autoloading support in ifconfig are a massive mistake that we've been unable to kill. The relativly large amount of code you've written to hack around yet another edge case proves my point. :) If you want to load if_iwn at boot just do: echo 'if_iwn_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf and be done with it. -- Brooks > ================================================= > src/etc/network.subr > Revision 1.185: download - view: text, markup, annotated - [selected for > diffs] > Wed Apr 30 16:29:15 2008 UTC (10 months, 2 weeks ago) by brooks > Branches: MAIN > Diff to: previous 1.184: preferred, colored > Changes since revision 1.184: +4 -0 lines > > Emit a warning when the network_interfaces variable is not set to AUTO. > > MFC after: 3 days > ================================================== > > --Thanks! > > -_Dave H > > > > > Best regards > > ?
