Ren� Scharfe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has developed an alternative way of performing
this function. It's a LOT smaller than my version, yet it seems to cover
all the bases. To use his version, you put:
network_interfaces=SINGLE
ifconfig_single=" inet 192.168.254.193 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_single_alias0="inet 192.168.254.199 netmask 255.255.255.255"
...
into your rc.conf file. No additional script is needed and the changes
to rc.network are quite modest (18 lines):
173c173
< # Set up all the network interfaces, calling startup scripts if needed
---
# If there's exactly one link, find out interface name automagically.
174a175
single_link_ifn=""
176,177c177,183
< [Aa][Uu][Tt][Oo])
< network_interfaces="`ifconfig -l`"
---
[Ss][Ii][Nn][Gg][Ll][Ee])
single_link_ifn="`ifconfig -l link`"
if [ "${single_link_ifn}" != "${single_link_ifn% *}" ]; then
echo -n 'Warning: more than one link found, '
echo 'falling back to auto configuration.'
single_link_ifn=""
