    I have an older PC (Compaq AP200) that I'm running FreeBSD-6.0 on.

    I have an Intel Gigabit interface installed in one of the PCI slots,
    along with another dual 10/100 Intel in another.

    The "em0" device does not show up at boot time, and therefore the
    firewall rules fail.

    However, if I go in and manually type "ifconfig em0" it then becomes
    available and I'm able to run dhclient on it, etc. etc.

    I just did a buildworld/installworld today, so the OS is fairly current.

    In /etc/rc.conf I have a simple ifconfig_em0="DHCP".

    I wonder if this is a known problem...
