I actually don't think that using NWAM is a matter of potential device mobility. I started using NWAM all over the place and am generally quite happy. Simple and scriptable, just works so far. Especially now that I have understood how to add DNS to the equation. :-)

On my laptop, I run nwam, but on the servers that use wire connections I use non-nwam, and generally if they're going to sit still for a long time, I even make them static IP's. adding and removing virtual interfaces with nwam is a bit of a ball-ache, adding them with ipadm/dladm is easy :) Jon On 27 February 2014 11:32, jimkli...@cos.ru <jimkli...@cos.ru> wrote: > Hello all, > > I am still a newb with nwam and ipadm, and recently failed to add an alias > ipv4 interface to an nwam-managed interface (needed to add an address in a > specific subnet to contact a factory-defaulted device, while the default > address is from dhcp). > > The old "ifconfig addif" said it added the alias but nothing happened.
