>Description:
I'm using start_if.fxp0 to add alot of aliases. I'm not sure why, but all this output when /etc/rc.d/netif displays verbose ifconfig fxp0 wipes dmesg, to the extent that only 1 line is present in /var/run/dmesg.boot.
This change makes the verbose output more easily tuned via rc.conf:
netif_verbose="NO"
I believe this behavior is more like /etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl behavior.
Thank you for taking time to consider my request.
