lp0 problem (Invalid argument)

[Giovanni P. Tirloni]

Hi,

 I'm trying to set up a plip connection. Both systems are
 running 5.1-BETA1 and the remote end (10.0.0.2) was booted
 from the install floppies.
 
 Here on the other end (10.0.0.1) I get this error;
 
   root at kundera:~# ifconfig lp0
   lp0: flags=8815<UP,DEBUG,POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
   root at kundera:~# ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
   ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument

 What does that mean? It seems to work with the install
 floppies (no error message)

 (DEBUG: ifconfig lp0 inet 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0)

 Any help is welcome.
