I am trying to upgrade using FTP and when FreeBSD tries to call
slattach I get the error Unable to configure the sl0 interface !. The
debug window has "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address
required"

I have not been able to figure out how to use ppp with that provider
(Advantis) so for now I need to get slip to work.
