I also found out yesterday that the ifconfig from net-tools version 6.1-6 is
broken on my machine. The last combination of packages to work for me is
net-tools 6.1-4 and freebsd-hackedutils 5.2.1-32. With the latest packages I
get this behaviour:
$ ifconfig -a
em0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
ether 0:c:76:3f:d6:72
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
fwe0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 2:0:10:37:8d:ed
ch 1 dma -1
lo0: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
$ ifconfig lo0
ifconfig: interface lo0 does not exist
For me, with /etc/network/interfaces:
# Sample /etc/network/interfaces file for GNU/kFreeBSD
auto lo0
iface lo0 inet loopback
auto rl0
iface rl0 inet static
address 10.16.0.26
network 10.16.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.224
gateway 10.16.0.1
following set works fine.
ii freebsd-hackedutils 6.1-1
ii inetutils-ping 1.4.3+20051212-4
ii inetutils-syslogd 1.4.3+20051212-4
ii inetutils-tools 1.4.3+20051212-4
ii net-tools 6.1-6
ii netbase 4.27
ii libc0.1 2.3.6.ds1-9
ii libc0.1-i686 2.3.6.ds1-9
I am currently running upcoming FreeBSD 6.2 based kernel (686 flavor),
but it should not make difference.
