--liOOAslEiF7prFVr Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have just committed support for network interface cloning similar to that in NetBSD. Specific interfaces may be created with a command of the form: # ifconfig gif0 create arbitrary interfaces may be created with a command like: # ifconfig gif create gif1 The name of the created device is printed to stdout in this case. A list of currently loaded devices supporting cloning may be obtained as follows: # ifconfig -C gif This commit includes converting the gif(4) device to use cloning to create device instances at runtime rather then specifying a static number of them in the kernel config. If you use gif and configure them by a method other then gifconfig_gif# and ifconfig_gif# entries in /etc/rc.conf you may have to change your configuration to create each device before configuring it. /etc/rc.network has been updated to do this automatically. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
