NETGRAPH_ETHER In other words, these are the options that you will need to obviate the need to load any modules. options NETGRAPH options NETGRAPH_ETHER options NETGRAPH_PPPOE options NETGRAPH_SOCKET See extract from handbook .... as I read it only "options NETGRAPH" is necessary, the other lines are "optional". Well I guess they are, but it sure caused me some lost sleep until I found out was was going on !! 16.4.2. Kernel Configuration You will need to set the following options in your kernel configuration file and then compile a new kernel. a.. options NETGRAPH Optionally, you can add a.. options NETGRAPH_PPPOE b.. options NETGRAPH_SOCKET although if this functionality is not available at runtime, ppp will load the relevant modules on demand >How-To-Repeat: compile a kernel with ONLY "options NETGRAPH", not all relevant lines >Fix: Alter handbook section "16.4.2. Kernel Configuration" to state ALL netgraph options should be included in kernel config file >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
