The ioctl error message could also be ifconfig trying to update the routing table. If there is already a route for 10.10.1.0/24 this message will appear. e.g. # ifconfig rl0 inet 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 >>> adds a route for 10.10.1/24 via rl0 # ifconfig rl0 ient alias 10.10.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: ioctl..... # ifconfig rl0 inet alias 10.10.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 >>> should work.
