https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240539 --- Comment #1 from Yuri Pankov <yuripv@FreeBSD.org> --- It makes some sense, actually. If you don't have any tap devices, `ifconfig tap create name tap0` would first create 'tap0', and then try to rename it = to 'tap0' (which, of course, already exists at that time). There could be a c= heck if original and new name are the same, I guess. Also, you could just creat= e it as `ifconfig tap0 create`. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
