So it turns out I was missing some important context on this matter. We don't in fact want or need the sysctls back and have a sane way to access the information via means other than parsing ifconfig output. In short, apologies for the noise and move along, there's nothing to see here :) Cheers, Lawrence _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
