Hi,
I Installed freebsd on my system. When ifconfig is run to bring the
network up, I get the following message :
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR) destination address required.
What can be the problem ? How to fix this problem ?
The following is the /etc/rc.conf file on my system.
---------------------------- /etc/rc.conf ------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set
# to change the default startup behavior of your system.
#
# All arguments must be in double or single quotes.
