https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206876 Bug ID: 206876 Summary: ifconfig(8): Inconsistent behavior when creating and giving custom name to interface at the same time Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: marieheleneka@gmail.com # uname -a FreeBSD venus 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r295136: Tue Feb 2 09:2= 7:29 CET 2016 root@venus:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 How to reproduce: # ifconfig tap create name teststuff tap0 ifconfig: ioctl SIOCSIFNAME (set name): Device not configured Expected behaviour: 1: ifconfig(8) should know the name of the newly created interface (tap0) a= nd change its name according to the 'name' parameter (teststuff).=20 2: It should echo the name provided in 'name' parameter (example: teststuff= ), unless it failed to change the name, in which case it should echo the automatically numbered name. (example: tap0) It currently does expected behavior 2, but not expected behavior 1. Workaround: (thanks to thoht on Freenode. Below syntax is for /bin/sh) # ifconfig $( ifconfig tap create ) name teststuff It works as expected when using the syntax: # ifconfig tap0 create name teststuff --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
