It seems wrong to me. if you call if_up() from a driver before running ifconfig on a PTP interface ifconfig will fail to add the destination address with EEXIST. However the address is not in the routing table. Its pretty messy stuff, so I havent gone further than eliminating the if_up call from our driver at init time (and I dont intend to go further), but something may be amuck so if anyone knows what changed it might be worth thinking about.
