But I think I stumbled onto something. I don't know (yet) if this will carry over to 9.x yet. But here's what I discovered: in rc.conf, adding the following (order is important!), everything works as expected/desired/anticipated; --- begin rc,conf -------------------------------------------------------------- ifconfig_ue0="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##" ifconfig_ue0_alias0="DHCP" *** or *** ifconfig_ue0_alias0="inet ip4.add.ress.anticipated netmask kno.wn.net.mask" followed by defaultrouter="kno.wn.gate.way" --applies for static only --- end rc,conf -------------------------------------------------------------- So. It appears this will be the answer. _However_ I can't swear to it until I spin up && install a (fresh) copy of RELENG_9. I'll do so, and report back. Thanks again, for your reply. --Chris > > On 15 December 2012 10:36, Chris H <chris#@1command.com> wrote: >>> On Sat, Dec 15, 2012 at 10:11:41AM -0800, Chris H wrote: >>>> Hello Glen, and thank you for your reply. >>>> > On Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 11:26:06PM -0800, Chris H wrote: >>>> >> ifconfig_ue0="DHCP" >>>> >> create_args_ue0="ether ##:##:##:##:##:##" >>>> >> create_args is simply ignored. >>>> >> >>>> > >>>> > Ignored how?
