2007-09-03Typos from miod. 'specificed' -> 'specified' in some comments and man page.Kenneth R Westerback
2007-07-31oops, forgot to include the man page tweaks from jmc@Pierre-Yves Ritschard
2007-07-31When setting the vlandevice without specifying a tag, infer the tagPierre-Yves Ritschard
from the interface name, this allows constructs like: ifconfig vlan15 vlandev smth0 ok reyk@, ``makes sense'' henning@
2007-06-19Allow IPv6 addresses to use the CIDR notation too, no need for separatePierre-Yves Ritschard
prefixlen specification when using this form. man page bits by jmc. ok henning@, ``looks sane'' djm@.
2007-06-14Add a new "rtlabel" option to ifconfig. It allows to specify a route labelReyk Floeter
which will be used for new interface routes. For example, ifconfig em0 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 rtlabel RING_1 will set the new interface address and attach the route label RING_1 to the corresponding route. manpage bits from jmc@ ok claudio@ henning@
2007-06-13allow IPv4 addresses to be specified in CIDR notation, no need for seperateHenning Brauer
mask in that case. initially from rivo nurges <rix@estpak.ee>, but changed quite a bit. this has annoyed me so long that I wonder why I hadn't fixed that earlier... input & ok markus deraadt, manpage also jmc
2007-06-12just because sth is an abbreviation or acronym, does not mean it'sJason McIntyre
a tradename: zap erroneous .Tn
2007-06-12zap some dead AF_NS bits; ok henningJason McIntyre
2007-06-04more ipx, spotted by jmcHenning Brauer

2006-12-20make a list of default interface groups;Jason McIntyre
ok grange deraadt ray(plus tweaks) henning
2006-11-11EXAMPLES was getting too lengthy, so trim some of the ones that wereJason McIntyre
either obscure, bordering on the duplicate, or referring to pseudo devices; if you want examples for pseudo devices, put them in their specific man page, please. ok jcs
2006-11-10Add -nwid command to allow wireless interfaces to not prefer a specificMichael Knudsen
access point. Does the same as nwid "" but since we have -nwkey for nwkey etc. this is nice for consistency. ok mbalmer reyk man stuff also ok jmc
2006-11-09trim SEE ALSO: there is no need to list every pseudo-deviceJason McIntyre
2006-10-25add pflog to list of clonable devices; ok henningJason McIntyre
2006-08-29allow a numeric argument to "carpdemote" to in-/decrease the demotionHenning Brauer
counter by more than one. manpage help by jmc, ok mcbride mpf deraadt
2006-06-27consistency fix and clip some trailing whitespace;Jason McIntyre
2006-06-27add the net80211 hostap options "nwflag hidenwid" for hidden SSID modeReyk Floeter
and "nwflag nobridge" to prevent inter-station communications. "hidenwid" will also work with wi(4) to replace the old -E 3 option of wicontrol. ok damien@ jmc@
2006-06-23-M clarity, ok jmc@Todd T. Fries
2006-06-22oops! i put -M in the wrong place;Jason McIntyre
2006-06-12- make the sub-sections a little more consistent in namingJason McIntyre
- clarify what sppp is (from reyk)
2006-06-12- add the sppp options to pppoe's synopsisJason McIntyre
- for pppoe, note that it uses the sppp framework, and point to the sppp section for a description of those options - for sppp, avoid referring specifically to sppp devices, as other devices, such as pppoe, may be using these options this after some discussion with reyk
2006-06-11options are optional ;)Jason McIntyre
2006-06-11split this page up into sections: it was getting too messy to read;Jason McIntyre

2006-06-03better synopsis for -g; ok mpfJason McIntyre
2006-06-03groups are specified using -g, not -m; ok mpfJason McIntyre
2006-06-03kill trailing whitespace;Jason McIntyre
2006-06-02Introduce attributes to interface groups.Marco Pfatschbacher
As a first user, move the global carp(4) demotion counter into the interface group. Thus we have the possibility to define which carp interfaces are demoted together. Put the demotion counter into the reserved field of the carp header. With this, we can have carp act smarter if multiple errors occur. It now always takes over other carp peers, that are advertising with a higher demote count. As a side effect, we can also have group failovers without the need of running in preempt mode. The protocol change does not break compability with older implementations. Collaborative work with mcbride@ OK mcbride@, henning@
2006-05-17various fixes;Jason McIntyre
2006-05-17implement support for sppp(4) in ifconfig. have a look at the updatedReyk Floeter
manual pages pppoe(4) and sppp(4) for examples. the spppcontrol(8) utility is not required anymore and will probably be removed in the near future. ok deraadt@
2006-04-12add a few words about how groups of interfaces can be used.Alexandre Anriot
help and ok henning@ jmc@
2006-02-21improvements from claudio:Jason McIntyre
- note that "-alias" is a synonym for "delete", and encourage the latter - make the description of "delete" clearer ok claudio
2006-02-20bit more consistent...Jason McIntyre
2006-02-20- note that "deletetunnel" is for gif(4) and gre(4) devices onlyJason McIntyre
- remove some redundant text from "deletetunnel" description help/ok claudio

2005-05-31tidy up the trunk stuff;Jason McIntyre
2005-05-25add ifconfig -M option to replace wicontrol -L and -l for ap scanningReyk Floeter

2005-05-24initial import of a trunking (link aggregation and link failover)Reyk Floeter
implementation. it currently supports round robin mode with link state checking, additional modes will be added later. ok brad@, deraadt@
