One uses ral+xl and the other uses ipw+fxp. On both systems, I enable both in rc.conf.

On the desktop that causes intermittent issues as the wireless router is not on the same network as the wired and dns gets confused. /etc/rc.d/netif restart sorts that one out when it happens, but should not be necessary. I've disabled the ral interface there and that seems to handle the issue.

On the laptop I could disable the wired connection, as I almost never use it that would work. Ideally, I would like to have both enabled as I plan to give the system to someone else. Oddly, even though the wired connection does not get an ip, the issue seems similar. The issue is identical when I do connect with fxp and the ipw interface gets associated.
