>Description:
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or it is intentional, but when you try to restart netif service, it spits an error because cloned_interfaces are not destroyed upon netif stop.
fbsd# grep cloned /etc/rc.conf
cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
fbsd# /etc/rc.d/netif restart

It spits "ifconfig: create: bad value" because in /etc/network.subr in clone_up function line 502, it tries to create the clone without checking if it exist first. I wonder also if it would be fine just to send stderr to /dev/null or if it would be worthy to create a function to check the existence of the clone and skip its creation in that case.
Cheers,
Antonio Huete
