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. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
