Did you read the /usr/src/UPGRADING ?
Read also man ifconfig
for gif I use:
ifconfig gif create
I am sure, that is is same "problem" as with gif interface...
20010724:
The gif(4) interface has been converted to use cloning
rather then allocating a static number of devices a compile
time. If you use gif interfaces and configure them by any
method other then setting standard variables in /etc/rc.conf
you will need to update your system to create devices with
"ifconfig gifX create" before attempting to configure them.
See the ifconfig(8) man page and /etc/rc.network for more
information.
