9.2-RC1, nfe, auto_linklocal : ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument
Hi, I've noticed that with 9.2-RC1, I cannot set/unset the auto_locallink flag on the nfe network interface on my laptop: # ifconfig nfe0 -auto_linklocal ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCGIFINFO_IN6): Invalid argument The error is also raised at boot if net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal sysctl is set to 0. I can't test for now if this problem was also present in 9.1 (I've just began to use this flag instead of removing local addresses in rc.conf), but I can give more information if given the commands/files to read. -- Mazhe signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Elsukov My bad, you are definitively right! I wonder why the global sysctl would not disable linklocal adress on this interface, but I'd prefer to control it through the ifconfig_*_ipv6 fields interface by interface, so that's not really a problem. Thanks! -- Mazhe signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thanks! -- Mazhe Not really a followup or a response, but I am just a bit curious why you would want to want to do this. II have seen this question several times, so I am wondering what I might be missing. I'm hoping it's not just a general aversion to all things IPv6. -- R.
