I don't know if this is how we will finally solve this problem, (we might well do so), but even if we don't this is a very good step in this direction. I wonder if this can be generalised within the framework of interfaces, to be less specific to ethernet.. There are other types of interfaces that have sub-interfaces.. e.g. ATM, Frame relay, VLAN (I think) etc. It looks to me as if we might consider what can be generalised and extracted from these examples. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
