The branch stable/13 has been updated by bz: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=4c9650ac316214c7819fefdd20df766ea8c2b854 commit 4c9650ac316214c7819fefdd20df766ea8c2b854 Author: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-09-06 13:09:39 +0000 Commit: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-09-21 11:39:13 +0000 ifconfig: print interface name on SIOCIFCREATE2 error We have repeatedly gotten reports of unclassified SIOCIFCREATE2 errors (usually "Device not configured"). This can happen if there is configuration for interfaces in rc.conf which do not (yet) exist and we try to configure. I can, e.g., provoke this by configuring wlan interfaces with their physical interface not installed. In order to cut support (guesswork) down print the name of the interface to be configured with the error message. Hopefully this will help us in the future to improve other configuration or driver problems.
