I have a message that tells me that the ioctl() call SIOCDIFADDR has failed. It is done while setting the hostname. /usr/include/sys/sockio.h tells this : #define SIOCDIFADDR _IOW('i', 25, struct ifreq) /* delete IF addr */ I noticed the same problem on five different machines, all running FreeBSD 4.x and all having a standard ne2k NIC. Does anyone encountered the same problem ? It's not a real problem since the ethernet card works well otherwise, but since it's very old... ;) Thanks ! -- Maxime Henrion To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
