CURRENT: can not add device to bridge: ifconfig: BRDGADD igb0: Invalid argument
Date: Sun, 18 May 2025 16:06:31 UTC
Hello, running recent CURRENT (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #68 main-n277334-d9900b9ea2b2: Sun May 18 16:51:02 CEST 2025), I ran into the following problem: Can not add interfaces anymore to a bridge device. Neither existing physical devices, nor epair devices created during setup of jails - with the result of no jails availabel and/or no bridge working. A more amusing part of this story is: I ran almost two identical boxes, based upon elderly IvyBridge CPUs, both on outdated ASrock Z77 Pro mainboards. One machine, the now-failing-one, has moved to AMD Ryzen 9700X based box based on ASrock B850 mainboard - just for the record, if this is of importance or interest. On both systems I use custom kernels, mostly disabling unused devices. Having an ABI issue in mind, I recompiled the whole world/kernel on the system with AMD CPU, but the issue is the still persistent. A real hardware problem or just a coincidence with faulty code? Thanks for helping, O. Hartmann -- A FreeBSD user
