Hello,

Has anyone had time to look at this issue? I could try to come up with a fix myself but I’d first like to know what is the proper way configure gif(4) interfaces with FreeBSD 10. If gif_interfaces is deprecated then is gifconfig_gifX also deprecated? If gifconfig_gifX is also deprecated then this is a documentation issue and also the rc(8) scripts should warn about using it like they do now warn about gif_interfaces. If gifconfig_gifX is still valid then something must be done about the handling of cloned_interfaces in rc.conf.
