https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D278306 --- Comment #11 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster@bsdforge.com> --- (In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #10) I think you're on the right track, Bjoern. But as I examined this approach, I discovered what may be hints to the problem here: libexec/rc/netif @ 152 # netif_common routine # Common configuration subroutine for network interfaces. This # routine takes all the preparatory steps needed for configuriing # an interface and then calls $routine. ... @ 175 # Don't check that the interface(s) exist. We need to run # the down code even when the interface doesn't exist to # kill off wpa_supplicant. # XXXBED: is this really true or does wpa_supplicant die? # if so, we should get rid of the devd entry While I could fully unwind the routine(s) to confirm whether this, or your approach is correct. I don't have time slices available ATM. IOW I agree someone from rc@ or net@ is the best direction. Maybe a PHAB review would be even better? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
