I'm running 4.3-RC (early April) and am seeing something I consider strange
with ifconfig.
For a card that's down:
gabby# ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:50:ba:51:53:11
media: autoselect (none) status: no carrier
supported media: autoseleect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>
And then up:
gabby# ifconfig rl0 up
gabby# ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::250:baff:fe51:5311%rl0 prefixlen 64 tentative scopeid
0x1
ether 00:50:ba:51:53:11
media: autoselect (none) status: no carrier
supported media: autoseleect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback>
How in the heck did this card magically get assigned an IPv6 address?
Later, when I do an 'ifconfig rl0 down', the flags are changed, but the
inet6 address stays, and I'm unable to remove the address from the
interface.
