What suffers from changes like this are programs that use kmem(4) t= o=20 access the ifnet list directly. A grep turns up: routed(8), ifmcstat(8) an= d=20 netstat(1), but there might be others. A buildworld is best when in doubt. To answer your concern, there should be no problem with ifconfig. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1467918.p9NvbAidb9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCo83HXyyEoT62BG0RAoNkAJ4oe4MedaFtRAJ4leTM7QZHpEJknACfRDoD 7Oh1C6U4dsfk9AbI+IGW4mA= =DeDK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1467918.p9NvbAidb9--
