Hi all, I am interested in vale(4) and see the vale-ctl in /usr/src/tools/tools/netmap/vale-ctl.c. Given that it affects interface cards and creates a virtual switch, is it appropriate to merge vale-ctl's behavior into ifconfig? From a cursory code review, vale-ctl opens /dev/netapi whereas ifconfig uses a socket(2). Thoughts? -- Farhan Khan PGP Fingerprint: B28D 2726 E2BC A97E 3854 5ABE 9A9F 00BC D525 16EE
