But it seems that some of BPs drivers dont do an if_init until an address is set. The driver should be ready to send and accept raw frames when IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING are set, which implies that if_init() at minimum should be done when flags are set. The if_sk driver has the same problem. B To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
