in 2.0.5 and later, point-to-point links, lp0 and sl0 (have not tried 
ppp0) require a destination address in the ifconfig line.

this was not the case previously.

if the destination is omitted 'ifconfig sl0 inet 111.222.333.444'
EADDRNOTAVAIL 'Can't assign requested address' is returned.

can this be changed to 
EDESTADDRREQ 'Destination address required'

bug report kern/619 (from memory, submitted by me on friday--yes i can 
see how busy everyone is--an ulterior motive is to send mail to current 
for a test purpose, and include some useful information inplace of the 
usual 'this message left blank' ;) include the one line diff
