The trouble with that is when you have one fixed interface and one from a pccard. You want the fixed interface to be running dhcp continuously, and not have it interrupted when the pccard is plugged in. I guess that we could do this by running a per-interface dhclient, but I've not had much success with that in the past. I'd like to talk about how that interacts with laptop suspend behaviour, but given that my laptop still can't resume properly, I'm inclined to leave it for the moment. ;-) -Dom _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
