Hi, $ grep sk0 /etc/rc.conf.local ifconfig_sk0="DHCP" When booting up or netif restart: Starting Network: lo0 sk0. lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 sk0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU> ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier ^^^^^^^^^^ Please note that on older versions of FreeBSD it printed 'status: active' and also IP address obtained via DHCP. The same now happens whether booting up or restarting via /etc/rc.d/netif and is a bit confusing at best. Other network services starting on boot seem to be not affected at least. Regards, Martin
