I'm seeing an issue with ifconfig failing in an unpredictable way which may be

For instance:

$ ksh network stop
Stopping network.

Before running your simple ifconfig(8), try to exec without flags andcheck to see if there's an IPv6 link-local address auto-assigned.


There should be an existing link-local IPv6 address:
    fe80::[v4-address-rewrite]/64

Also, you can ktrace the process to see which sysctls flail
