FreeBSD 7.2 and hme driver
Hi,

I'm using a Sun's quad network card, which uses hme driver. Driver is built into kernel (puting if_hme_load="YES" in loader.conf doesn't solve the problem). Every time machine reboots, driver doesn't come up soon enough and the interfaces don't configure properly.
For now, the only way to get things up as they should be is to boot into single mode and manually load driver.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Thank you.

Luka

Hi,

I haven't found any solutions to my problem, so I wrote a small rc script, which loads the if_hme driver before the netif script gets executed:

Code:
# PROVIDE: bogus
# BEFORE: netif
