how to eliminate an unused interface?
my box has a firewire port that is showing up as fwe0. it is not being used, and i would like to eliminate this device from the network configuration. (some applications try to bind to this as its default interface, ex: iftop). how do i go about elimination, or where is that network configuration for that located? thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You could remove device fwe without disabling device firewire and device sbp, or you could remove them all and load firewire and sbp as modules.

Could you not just do a # ifconfig fwe0 down ? Just a thought. Maybe you've already tried this, but nobody else has suggested it.

HTH. -- Chris Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** [ Busy Expunging | ] actually i did try that, but iftop still bound to it on start. oh well, a security advisory came out yesterday anyway, thus we're all due for a kernel compile as it is. ill just comment out the fwe0 and call it even. thanks all, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
