FreeBSD host.domain 6.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5 #0: Mon Jul  2 20:09:36 EDT 2007     sullrich@builder6.pfsense.com:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/src/sys/pfSense.6  i386
>Description:
OpenBSD calls it the "carpdev" option... it allows the host NIC to remain ip-less, and as a result allows CARP to be utilized when only a single IP is available.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to utilize CARP when you've only got a single address to use.
>Fix:
use OpenBSD
