Description:
Can we add to 'man rc.conf' more information about NETWORKING and 'interface=' configuration? In particular, I'd like to see examples of handling multiple network interfaces. Is it OK to have multiple interface/address/netmask/broadcast/gateway definitions? It seems that 'interface=(eth0 eth1)' in an array should work. Can it be confirmed and at the same time documented in the man page? Additional info: * package version(s) 2012.02.1-1 * config and/or log files etc. /etc/rc.conf |
This task depends upon

"The new syntax is very simplistic and only supports one wired network device (configured statically or by dhcp) and we do not expect to add more features in the future. We want to encourage the use of more advanced network solutions, such as networkmanager or our own netcfg."
Are you sure that ''interface=(eth0 eth1)' does indeed work?
