So checking in dmesg if LAN interface was detected or reboot to your
original OS and
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/newhandbook/Configuration/ ?

Mmm I hope that there will not be more and more diferences like in Linux :-)

I did not say if with or without X ;-) Anyway ls, cp, cat, vi, more
and others are still here and in combination with tmux it's superb
enough. Of course for me. Can't talk for others.

Maybe because they can't see point in this or don't have time for

It wasn't meant as something rude ;-) It's just fact. Communities are
smaller around OpenBSD or Dfly, but I think that much more useful and
I can see thanks to my own use that approach in OpenBSD community
leads to quality so no problem with that for me.
