After an update to -current yesterday Internet access was lost as pf.conf could not be loaded. The error message was: pfctl: DIOCADDRULE: Operation not supported by device
This error occurred after upgrading the kernel and then rebooting. After userland was brought up to date as well and the system rebooted everything was fine. The system in question was local so outside of being offline for the amount of time it took to build userland there wasn't a lot to worry about. What I'm concerned with is this being an issue on a remote system where not being able to get back in after rebooting with just an updated kernel would (if it happened) be a serious issue. Is there a good way to avoid this? Is it safe to skip rebooting between the kernel build and userland build? Or would it work to manually build and install pfctl before the reboot after the kernel build? Or something else that hasn't occurred to me yet? Thanks, Chris
