Kernel cannot be linked because there is an "undefined reference to arp_ifinit" in if.o (function if_setlladdr). It causes you have to compile in an ether pseudo-device. >How-To-Repeat: It can be repeated (or at least I suppose it should) by compiling 4.6-R kernel with loop and ppp networking pseudo-devices only. >Fix: Problem is in notifying net nodes about address change. It can be either ommited (it's gratuitous) or compiled in only for the case of ether. It obviously doesn't have any sense for lets say ppp to notify its network neighbours about link-level address change... BTW: don't have 4.4-R kern sources now but seems to me it didn't use that notification (at least it compiled in order) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
