You can do it, but it's not pretty, and certainly not something I'd recommend in the face of a fully functional alternative. > Therefore, if you have two 'network interfaces' that are serviced by the > same driver, it's hard to not have a sysctl change effect them both. Actually, you can. Have a look at the way that the kernel environment code handles retrieval of individual variables, and apply the same principle to indexing interfaces. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
