>Description:
The 1.19 version of ifconfig/ifmedia.c added the use of setifmediacallback so that media setting gets done only once at the end of the sequence of changes.
The change carefully made sure the that new media value was saved in the ifmr structure which is held in the callback structure.
However the new sefifmediacallback structure fails to return media information saved in the ifmr structure to the ifr structure before the ioctl call is made. This depending on the order of paramters on the ifconfig command this can result in making a SIOCSIFMEDIA call with parameters from a previous operation.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use a command like:
ifconfig <IF> inet <addr> netmask <mask> media <mediasetting> mtu 1500
In this case the mtu ioctl gets done before the media ioctl. In this case the medial ioctl call contains the 1500 left over from the mtu ioctl call and returns an ENXIO error.
>Fix:
I think the fix is simple. Add
ifr.ifr_media = ifmr->ifm_current;
following line 242.
The code should look like:
if (!did_it) {
ifr.ifr_media = ifmr->ifm_current;
if (ioctl(s, SIOCSIFMEDIA, (caddr_t)&ifr) < 0)
