Bug#740509: ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): No such device or address
Package: freebsd-net-tools
Version: 9.2+ds1-1+b1
Severity: critical
Control: found -1 10.0-3
On this system, ifconfig is unable to bring up network when running
on a 10.0 kernel (this happens with 10.0 debian kernels and with
kfreebsd-downloader too).
The problem appears to be somehow related to ipv6:
$ sudo ifconfig -a
: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): No such device or address
: flags=0<>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): No such device or address
: flags=0<>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): No such device or address
: flags=8008<LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): No such device or address
