I recall noticing a somewhat similar behaviour with the ipsec service of strongswan. In particular, it would complain that the wired interface was not up and therefore ipsec would not start until then. The wireless interface itself being up was not enough to start ipsec. I used to start it up manually from the command line. I didn't look into it back then. I wonder if it was also something to do with the configuration of the start up script of ipsec. PS. I had commented out #rc_depend_strict="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and set rc_hotplug="*", but did not experiment further with these settings at the time. -- Regards, Mick
