I downloaded ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
and combined the base.?? files as http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/kfreebsd/freebsd-8.1-release-i386-base.tar.bz2 which I extracted to /root/freebsd-8.1-release-i386-base and added /usr/local/bin/freebsd wrapper that contains #!/bin/sh exec chroot /root/freebsd-8.1-release-i386-base "$@" and lets me do # freebsd ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev eth0 which does not fail with SIOCIFCREATE2. => this looks like a userland bug in debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
