Log Message:
PR/43141: Tobias Nygren: Print an error on unknown interfaces.

Now this is trival and it is fixed. But I guess there is a bug here in ATF.
The test only checks that the exit code is not zero:

         atf_check -s not-exit:0 ifconfig nonexistent0 1.2.3.4/24

But why is stderr being involved?

If you really want to ignore stderr in the test, pass "-e ignore" to atf_check. The default is "-o empty -e empty".

Now, the question is: do you really want to ignore the message, or do you want to validate that the appropriate error message is printed? If the later (which should be the preferred way), "-e inline:'foo bar\n'" or "-e match:'foo bar'" or "-e file:experr" (with experr being pre-populated with the expected message) will do the job.
