Re: port-i386/39880: ioctl with SIOCGIFFLAGS fails on -current (in GNUstep gdomap)

Hi,

sorry for the delay. I had an urget need to have the laptop usable, so after asking here and there and getting no reply to my bug, I installed FreeBSD.

I have a second x86 NetBSD box though and I jsut isntalled a daily 5-series kernel and the problem reproduces. So it is not just a particular eth card problem and I can work on it.

ifconfig -a:

root multix # ifconfig -a
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 44:4d:50:e1:7e:b2
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active
inet 192.168.1.54 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::464d:50ff:fee1:7eb2%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33192
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

I attach the ktrace dump compressed. I repeat that on netbsd 4 everything works fine as on netbsd 3, 2... and on Freebsd, Solaris, etc etc.

Please send the output from 'ifconfig -a' on your system. Please ktrace
the program, too, and send the kdump output.

I have a hunch that the program relies on false SIOCGIFCONF semantics.
