It wouldn't be based on probe order, unless you wanted it to be fully automatic (read: newbies). The rest of us would use an explict rc.network (or whatever) configuration that linked up specific ethernet drivers with interfaces. I think Solaris (?) requires you to do this, it's called "plumbing your interfaces" or something (according to Julian). -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
