freebsd stable - Aug 2003 - FW: Kernel

Doug,

I remove ed config from rc.conf and system boots up without any error
messages. When I try to config interface manually (ifconfig ed0 ***) then
I saw it again. Is it ifconfig problem?

I'm beginning to think it is :)

Please experiment with ifconfig -l though, I think that is what is used to
determine what drivers are loaded.
