It can't accept lladdr parameter along with inet address. This behavior should be considered as a bug, because when issuing ifconfig seperately with lladdr, then inet address family, it works well. This problem should be something wrong with the ifconfig.c, when replaced with some version prior to 1.72.3(dated Wed Mar 20 17:55:07 2002 UTC), the problem goes away. I've checked the code, and I think the problem was with the command line parser. >How-To-Repeat: run ifconfig with some parameters similar to this(the adapter name could vary): ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.1.1.254 netmask 0xffffff00 ether 00:20:af:7d:99:dc but the ifconfig works well when issuing seperately: ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.1.1.254 netmask 0xffffff00 then ifconfig fxp0 ether 00:20:af:7d:99:dc >Fix: Workaround: Rollback the ifconfig.c to version 1.72.3 or prior, which could be downloaded from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.c?rev=1.72&content-type=text/plain >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
