State-Changed-Why:
No, there is a bug here. Look again at the last configuration (my '^'s
added),
nevermind# ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.x.10 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast xxx.xxx.x.63
inet xxx.xxx.x.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.x.255
^^
ether 00:20:ed:29:33:33
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
nevermind# ifconfig fxp0 inet xxx.xxx.x.20 netmask 255.255.255.192
alias
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
nevermind# ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.x.10 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast xxx.xxx.x.63
inet xxx.xxx.x.20 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast xxx.xxx.x.63

media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
The bug here is that the netmask and broadcast _are_ changed despite
the fact that an invalid alias is being added. When ifconfig(8) errors
out like that, it shouldn't be leaving a broken entry.
