The following reply was made to PR kern/154850; it has been noted by GNATS. From: st41ker <st41ker@st41ker.net> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, ndenev@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/154850: [netgraph] [patch] ng_ether fails to name nodes when the associated interface contains dots or colons Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:07:39 +0300 Hello, Mentioned issue still exists in the FreeBSD-9-STABLE branch (it seems like every branch is affected). According to new rc subsystem (check the /etc/network.subr) where vlans are created - they're all using dots in ifnames. Also, function get_if_var() already has mentioned code for the replacing ". - / +" to "_". So mentioned patch will not break anything, even users ngctl scripts, since that users just can not use dots there by design. Thank you.home | help
