Thanks for the reply.

I often plug in interfaces but don't want to configure them. No, sorry. What I want is to power up the Zaurus/OpenBSD 4.1 with the Netgear FA120 previously hooked to the rear USB connector. Then I want OpenBSD on the Zaurus to a) recognize the interface (axe0) is there and during /etc/rc time, run /etc/netstart to assign addresses and routes. > Have a read through the hotplugd manpage: writing a script to do > something (like "exec /etc/netstart axe0") when the interface is > plugged in is trivial to do though. Thanks! That sounds like a possible workaround. Maybe the real problem is the USB power drawn is too much for the poor Zaurus... :-( Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
