You didn't really say. If you still have a problem after you've used the correct spelling of these args (consult the man pages first in the future, specifically fxp(4) & ifconfig(8) in this case), I don't know what your problem may be. The error message certainly seems to point to the misspelling error. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
