Hi,

[cc'ed to Jason because I saw some aprint changes in the source-changes
mails.]

Something must have changed in -current during the last 2 weeks, so
the wm driver outputs now the following lines (taken from
/var/run/dmesg.boot with comparing the wscons scrollback):

boot device: wd0
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
root file system type: ffs

[rc.d output]

[at the end of the 'Configuring network interfaces:' line from /etc/rc.d/network]:
wm0: link state changed to DOWN

[some other rc.d output]

wsdisplay0: screen 1 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 2<5>wm0: link state changed to UP
 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 3 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 4 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 6 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsdisplay0: screen 7 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)

Note the DOWN and UP events.
At least the DOWN even looks wrong.

Thats an:

wm0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0: Intel i82545EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet, rev. 1

And here are the relevant /etc/rc.conf lines:

auto_ifconfig=NO
net_interfaces="wm0"
ifconfig_wm0="inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
ipfilter=NO

This is a kernel based on a stripped down i386 GENERIC config.

Bernd

P.S how do I increase number of lines for the wsoncs scrollback?
