Hello Steve and Jack,
You need to handle the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl or it gets passed up the stack to
ether_ioctl(). When it goes up the interface gets reset. See the comments in
em_ioctl() and igb_ioctl().
We fixed this in ixgbe in our internal tree and it seems to work fine with
82598 and 82599. You also need to include opt_inet.h for the INET #define to
be valid.
so, what else have you fixed? :-)

Just double checked on igb1 on the same machine, adding an alias causes
no loss in network from the primary or existing ip aliases for the nic.
So this should be eliminating most variables except the driver?

OK, did some testing, this re-init with link transition will happen on both
the 1G
drivers as well as ixgbe, its due to the stack/ioctl behavior when you do
the
ifconfig.
So, what are you comparing this to that DOESN'T do this?? If this were to
be kept from happening I'm not sure where the responsible code would be
but I'm pretty sure its not in the driver :)
