Wouldn't a hostname.if(5) entry to ensure readyness of the physical interfaces suffice? For VLAN interfaces, I usually add the following snippet at the top (substitute $parent for your physical interface): # Ensure parent interface readiness !/sbin/ifconfig $parent up I haven't played with trunk(4) yet, given previous problems with the HP switches (5308xl's) and link aggregation. Mind you, that wasn't with OpenBSD. Once I see a quiet window come up, I suppose I'll try out trunk(4). > Modified in /etc/netstart: > changed > ifmstart "" "carp gif gre pfsync pppoe" Given your reasoning, shouldn't vlan(4) also be in the list as it also requires a physical interface to be present? I suspect that they're not in the list for a reason. Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
