https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235920 Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |phk@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #3 from Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org> --- I don't think this has anything to do with the UNR(9) code, it seems to be = only a matter of how interface names are managed. I have always assumed myself that naming an interface was an aliasing opera= tion and that the interface retained its underlying "system-given" name - if not= hing else in the sense that dev_printf() would still emit that name on the conso= le. Apart from those observations I have nothing further to add, and will take myself of the cc list. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
