Since we now support IPv6 by default, you can imagine environments where you have an interface and IPv4 is not in use. My tcpdump is from a rather elderly 4.0, so this may be fixed already, but: # tcpdump -eni bridge0 tcpdump: WARNING: bridge0: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: listening on bridge0 That seems a litte gratuitous. I'm quite aware that there is no IPv4 address assigned--that was intentional :-). (This is a bridge snooping interface--I don't want an IPv4 address) If this is already fixed, nevermind.. :-) Robert N M Watson robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ PGP key fingerprint: AF B5 5F FF A6 4A 79 37 ED 5F 55 E9 58 04 6A B1 TIS Labs at Network Associates, Safeport Network Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
