Hi, I want to set-up a small server from an Asus P5L-MX motherboard.
It has an onboard gigabit Ethrnet that works with the driver age. Problem is that at boot, I experience the interface to go up and down a couple of times, and it is usually down when Apache try to start, so Apache would not start (nor ntpd). I resolved to add a 5 seconds sleep in /etc/rc.d/netif but there may be a more elegant way to solve that. Help is welcome. Thanks in advance, Olivier In the extract of /var/log/message below you can see 6 seconds delay between the ifconfig and the interface finally up and running. By that time ntpd and apache have failed starting. Sep 4 16:36:58 door kernel: Starting Network: lo0 age0 plip0.
