rc.conf behaviour has changed in regard of creating lagg interaces. 10.x needs this (copied from the handbook [1]): ifconfig_bge0="up" ifconfig_iwn0="ether 00:21:70:da:ae:37" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" 11.x needs this: ifconfig_bge0="up" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="ether 00:21:70:da:ae:37" # new ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" [1] https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html
