Well, there is something you could try (I have not tested it myself and I am not sure if this does not apply to post-boot device discovery only): devd(8), devd.conf(5), DEVFS.RULES(5) See examples: $ cat /etc/devd.conf ... # An entry like this might be in a different file, but is included here # as an example of how to override things. Normally 'ed50' would match # the above attach/detach stuff, but the value of 100 makes it # hard wired to 1.2.3.4. attach 100 { device-name "ed50"; action "ifconfig $device-name inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 0xffff0000"; }; detach 100 { device-name "ed50"; }; ... So, just thinking loudly: attach 100 { device-name "em0"; action "??? some action e.g. ifconfig $device-name down :-) ???"; }; etc. jb _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
