Hi, 

I have been seeing strange behavior of my system lately. After creating new interface the system variable net.inet.ip.forwarding becomes "0".

 E.g. manually load if_ral kernel module, then rel0 interface appears and net.inet.ip.forwarding becomes "0".

 Previously this happened when I attached smartphone with USB tethering is on.
 May be this is VIMAGE-related... Any ideas? 

Below my original first post.
