No need to patch anything. It is available right out-of-the-box. See ifconfig(8) for details. (from the FAQ) 9.8 How can I setup Ethernet aliases? Add ``netmask 0xffffffff'' to your ifconfig command-line like the following: ifconfig ed0 alias 204.141.95.2 netmask 0xffffffff Use the ``netmask ...'' if the aliases are in the same subnet as the primary address. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #23: Sun Sep 29 14:56:23 MET DST 1996
