Subject:   3.2 SL/IP Install - can't get ifconfig to work...

I don't seem to be able to get 3.2 to do a SL/IP
install (this is for a laptop which seems to be
having PAO problems...)

Turning on DEBUG in the install options, I can watch
it nicely execute:

 ifconfig sl0 inet 10.0.0.98 10.0.0.99 netmask 255.255.255.0

but - not matter what - that always seems to fail with:

 ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

does anyone have a clue why the ioctl for the sl0
ifconfig would fail?  (Perhaps the sl psuedo-device
is missing from the kernel?)  [I'm guessin the
'File exists' is left-over stuff in errno, as the
ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR) message seems to be the result
of perror().]
