I also rely on this, for what it's worth: >=20 > openvpn_enable=3D"yes" > openvpn_configfile=3D"/conf/ME/openvpn/openvpn.conf" > openvpn_dir=3D"/conf/ME/openvpn" > openvpn_if=3D"tap" > cloned_interfaces=3D"bridge0" > ifconfig_bridge0=3D"addm em1 up" Setting media options and the like via _aliasesX variables makes no sense and you don't appear to be doing it so I'm confused by your question. The ifconfig_iface_aliasX syntax exists to add IPv4 addresses to an interface. New ipv4_addrs_iface variable is an attempt to replace that and nothing more. -- Brooks --8P1HSweYDcXXzwPJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF0L+nXY6L6fI4GtQRAujMAKDJ4w2CL9MiWhNw5WRwzfZPUDuCzgCeIB3P CFFnHJLV7jWI172RyMDKGy8= =m64Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8P1HSweYDcXXzwPJ--
