>Organization:
>Environment:
NetBSD 4.0/amd64 installation from 200611090000Z snapshot, but it is the same with -current
>Description:
I use wm(4), and as media autodetection doesn't work, I must specify it manually in sysinst. It would be convenient if this was safed in an ifconfig.if(5) file, as all other meaningful network options are retained.
Another, less-critical, but still handy feature request would be to list the media options for all available interfaces when the user is prompted to specify them, as not everyone knows what they are.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use a media option in sysinst; it is not retained, unlike DHCP/IP address settings, et. al.
>Fix:
Save the media options in ifconfig.if(5) file. This should be trivial as sysinst already creates this file and writes "up" to it.

Hi,
in current, this should be fixed, see distrib/util/sysinst/net.c:
1153 if (*net_media !=3D '\0')
1154 scripting_fprintf(ifconf,
1155 "%s netmask %s media %s\n",
1156 net_ip, net_mask, net_media);
1157 else
1158 scripting_fprintf(ifconf, "%s netmask %s\n",
1159 net_ip, net_mask);
Isn't it?
Regards, Julian

yes, it does. Just tested in Virtualbox with 6.0_BETA2.

State-Changed-Why:
ok, so it at most affects -5 (at this point in the -4 lifecycle it
won't be getting fixed there regardless)
