Hi All, I am wanting to create a number of sysctl variables at kernel boot time, 1 for each network interface. I have the code set up to loop through the interfaces using ifnet_byindex() already for other purposes so wanted to create them in this loop. The problem I'm having is naming them, using the SYSCTL_INT() macro as specified : SYSCTL_INT(parent, nbr, name, access, ptr, val, descr); The 'name' parameter is what I wish to manipulate in the loop to append the interface name on to the sysctl variable created however I can't think of a way to do this. If there is another way to accomplish this I would be grateful to hear any suggestions. Cheers Matt
