If this is the context of hostname.xl0, it's missing the
broadcast address:

Quote:>hostname.xl0=
>inet #.#.#.# #.#.#.# media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex

try
inet #.#.#.# #.#.#.# #.#.#.# media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
or
inet #.#.#.# #.#.#.# NONE media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex

Does it help, if I say, it works for me ... ;-) ?

thank you, I thought that NONE was talking about the media types in the
examples... Also, I discovered that putting the media options on a new
line also works.

Hi,
I am putting together a firewall and my network cards don't seem to
want to let me set ythe media type in the hostname.xl0 and hostname.fxp0
files.
I can set the cards up using the ifconfig command and they work fine:

ifconfig xl0 inet #.#.#.# netmask #.#.#.# media 10baseT mediaopt
full-duplex

but when I put this in my hostname.xl0 file, I get an error on boot that
says media xxx bad value..

hostname.xl0=
inet #.#.#.# #.#.#.# media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex

What am I doing wrong? The man pages seem to tell me I am doing it
correctly. Is this a syntax error or a bug?
