cket loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 4.578/5.780/7.213/1.181 ms # # Obviously the link came back up without difficulty, but the line about "....can't assign requested address" which was apparently an interjected console warning, looks suspicious. For a long time I though it had something to do with DHCP's IP address, either given or requested, but the reference to IOCTL makes me think it's something in the local host. The local host reports # uname -a FreeBSD generic 16.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #5 main-n281932-07e6bfeae5a1: Fri Nov 21 00:43:58 PST 2025 root@generic:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm.armv7/sys/GENERIC arm # uname -KU 1600004 1600004 This is one of the hosts formerly reporting an assertion failure from changes in jemalloc; the reversion suggested by Warner has been applied to the sources but this network problem predates that issue so I don't _think_ it matters. Otherwise the sources are unmolested. Thanks for reading, I hope this helps.... bob prohaska
