In a default installation with IPv6 enabled, there will be attempts by both IPv4 and IPv6 to bring up plip[012]. The patch to rc.d/network_ipv6 detects when ipv6_ifconfig_plipn is set to NOAUTO. The patch to defaults/rc.conf sets both ifconfig_plip[012] and ipv6_ifconfig_plip[012] to NOAUTO, keeping the plip interfaces from being brought UP automatically. --- etc/defaults/rc.conf.orig Sat May 6 21:00:25 2006 +++ etc/defaults/rc.conf Sat Sep 2 10:29:53 2006 @@ -158,6 +158,10 @@ cloned_interfaces="" # List of cloned network interfaces to create. #cloned_interfaces="gif0 gif1 gif2 gif3" # Pre-cloning GENERIC config. ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. +# Average user does not want to start networking on plip[012]. +ifconfig_plip0="NOAUTO" +ifconfig_plip1="NOAUTO" +ifconfig_plip2="NOAUTO" #ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff" # Sample alias entry
