I know. As I said, I used to be able to do it without
a problem. And it helped to do the truss, which had
to be done by root to truss across the pfexec. But the
inetmenu was still running as me.

I am pretty sure that it is hanging in ifconfig, although the
truss does not show it. It is possible (likely) that the
truss file is behind because of the hang. The core file shows
an ifconfig child process to the inetmenu script.

I am using version 1.9. I don't think it has ever happened with the
ethernet interface. I am using bcmndis. I think I am using ndis wrapper
1.6.


Also, when I run inetmenu as route and choose the bcmndis0 interface
to configure, I get an error message from the "tr" command.

I just noticed that I get some warnings in the messages file:

However, these message look like they date back to when the bcmndis0
driver was installed, before I had the problem.

Any suggestions about how to figure out what ifconfig was doing
when the thing hung?
